Apple Cart Creations found a way to keep warm while spinning and also selling these handmade “wool sheep.”
Vendors had everything from furniture to household items, clothing and hats and shoes for re-enactors, knives and swords, floorclothes and more.

Maggie’s Recipe for
“A Cure for Worms”
Take Rhubarb one drachm, wormwood half a drachm, currants a good handful, beat them all in a marble mortar to a consere, and mix it with asyrup of violets to an electuary. Give to child a bigness of a walnut every other morning fasting.
