I've heard over and over, that no festival has had such great stuff as Springfest this year . . . and given how many votes and agonies the gods went through choosing, I believe it. We thought about just awarding everyone nominated a plaque - and several that were not nominated - and decided we'd have to stick to the rules.

But I am SOOOOOOOO delighted with the great achievements people came up with - from quiz to race, from hunt to competition to party to drinking bouts, to every possible change you could ring on making history fun.
