101-IC Spring on the Green
The Spring Equinox Festival & Fair of Bree lasts a few days, and is really a big event.
Hobbits from all Farthings of the Shire have stalls to sell their goods.
All the merchants of Bree and its Bree-villages - Archet, Staddle, Combe - are present, of course, as well as farmers from all around.
Then there are some people from further afar-- Dwarven tinkers, Men from the South, down by Tharbad...
A big group, of several Dwarves and some Bardings, has arrived from Erebor and Dale, with many wondrous items crafted out East-- and a lot of goods ordered by various folk.
This is where one can finally find whatever one seeks-- and even more!
A fine liquor vendor is close to an apothecary.
Fireworks can be purchased, fur-coats from far North...
Of course it is not only a merchant's fair, though that is a powerful attraction.
The green grassy area is also filled with fun-- music is played, sweets & baked goods are on sale,
There is a dancing-bear, a menagerie of rare animals, various tournaments, some exotic people on display in tents...
So many people.
Such a crowd under the pale blue sky and the nice sun after the long winter days.
