How 'bout some Humpday Triviola?
My little corner of the world is right here in the corn country of central Illinois. Fall harvest festivals abound each year. At some of the festivals it is not uncommon to see a competition of working wood that has a historical relavance to this state.
What would they be doing in those competitions?
