The dog day's of summer are in full swing, with long, hot afternoons baking beneath the relentless sun, but one thing is for certain - it will not last for long. With the autumnal equinox just around the corner, it's time to take stock and assess - and what better way to do this than with a spring in your step and all manner of celebration to be had? Allow the coyotes to titillate your sense of wonder with potentially rigged carnival games and contests aplenty!
Come one, come all, to Del Cenere's Lancaster Stockshow.
Scheduled for the final week of August, this event will take place from the 22nd to the 28th, and for this week, Del Cenere has lifted its typical stipulations for visitation, and welcomes neighbors with open arms (and open pockets)!
A week of trade, food, and fun!
✦ Event Schedule Wrote:► The Welcome Wagon - Sunday, August 22nd
Visitors begin filtering into Charmingtown throughout the entirety of the day, to be greeted with a warm game stew and a smile from Del Cenere's own Alonso de los Santos. He guides groups to designated areas on the grassy clearings about Charmingtown, somewhat near the Trailside Inn, where they are permitted to set up their camps, with or without help from their Ceneren hosts!
► Bonfire Night - Monday, August 23rd
Shaking off the aches of travel, the first day of the Stockshow is reserved mostly for socializing, resting, and discussing trade through stalls or bartering for trinkets. As soon as evening falls, a bonfire is lit on the beach, and a fish dinner is served for all to enjoy. The Gang's merrybandofdogs provide musical entertainment for gathered party goers.
Horseshoe Tournament
Throughout the day, contestants gather on Charmingtown's beach, stakes stabbed into the sand as the assembled test their mettle (and their throwing arms) in a Tournament! Stoking that competitive spirit, the week kicks off with the first of its contests - a rousing game of Horseshoes.
Ram Roping -
While traditionally reserved for calves and young cattle - Del Cenere is lacking in the field of bovine - however, a suitable replacement has been made. The communal rams, Rupert and Goddard, alongside billy Phillip have been outfitted with leather guards on their horns to protect them from the worst of the chafing. Not only does Phillip prove an exceptional challenge given the sheer size of his arching horns, his temperament makes him a difficult animal to wrangle. Timing is the name of the game here, and judgements will be made on such, as well as the security of the tying.
Barrel Racing
A trio of barrels have been rolled out into a makeshift arena and arranged into a triangle. Riders are expected to follow a designated path - and will be judged on time, proximity of the horse to the barrel, and form. Just take care not to cut too close and knock them over!
Timed Sheep Herding
Del Cenere's ewes, lambs, nannies and kids have been turned out into a corral and allowed to spread out to graze. Using a pale full of sand, competitors, whilst in lupus form, will be timed at how quickly they can corral based on how full it gets - and must herd the errant livestock into the neighboring pen.
Cross-Country Horse Trail
Mid morning, the contestants assemble on horseback outside the stables of the Lancaster Stockyard, where they will begin their race. While the initial trail is distinct and clear given the packed dirt route, it veers sharply into the slopes and rocky trails of the Burnt Church Mountains where the ground is treacherous and the path can bottleneck unexpectedly. The track from here on out is marked with red-dyed fabric strips tied to trees and shrubs, and directed by the periodic guard post. The final stretch dips back onto the safe, distinctive trail, and arches around the outer edge of Charmingtown's buildings and through the camps before finalizing back where they started.
Three-Legged Race
This event is about teamwork above all else - after all, you better be ready to communicate with the companion you will be strapped to both at the leg and the arm in order to complete the race through the main thoroughfare of Charmingtown.
Sack Race
It's itchy, it's scratchy, it's a big ol' sack! On the sandy beach bordering Moosehead Lake, contestants gather to determine who's got the best coordination, and, perhaps more importantly, who's got the best hops. (This sounds, suspiciously, like a drunken suggestion!) Regardless - the goal is to go from one goalpost to the other without slipping and falling!
Lure-Coursing
This one is for the youth! Participants in the lure-course must be under one year of age to be eligible to run in this lupus-form event. A leather pouch, decked out in feathers and tufts of hair to stimulate prey drive, has been tied to a long, thin cord wound between and through a series of wooden stakes and hoops jammed into the dirt, pulled along by Alonso's faithful, speedy donkey. Inside of this sack? Dried jerky and blueberries, hidden beneath the fluff of wool and straw stuffing - a tantalizing toy, indeed. It's winner-takes-all in this high-stakes race for the prize - whomever can catch the lure claims bragging rights, and the snacks!
► Best in Show and Livestock Auction - Thursday, August 26th
Every Band, every Pack, has something in their livestock or pets that they considered to ultimately be the best of the best - but now you can prove it by showing off your companion to give it the praise and adulation it so deserves. There are no prizes for this, outside of the flex of bragging rights, and a potentiality for trade in exchange for stud services! Judgement is passed by carved acorns, offered to participants who wish to take a look, with each acorn dropped into a locked box and tallied at the end of the day. Late afternoon starts the Livestock Auction - where individuals can barter for livestock to refresh bloodlines, or just take the place of a companion animal!
► Barbecue Contest - Friday, August 27th
Attention all Cooks and Connoisseurs! What's your pack's or band's calling card when it comes to preparation of big meals? Are you more of a smoke pit cooker, or do you throw your meat onto an asado? Gather your cookin' posse for a chance at acclaim!
Contestants are given one full day (and any amount of help) to build their cooking zones (firepits, fires themselves, any spits or stone set ups) and stoke their fires to prep for their cooks with as much help as they're able to get, before setting in for a long night of barbecuing!
Given the team-oriented nature of this event, rewards are given to the team's affiliated group (Pack or Loner Band) for Communal Use.
► Closing Festivities and Barbecue Judging - Saturday, August 28th
What better way to close off a week than a feast with food aplenty? Working tirelessly through the night, barbecuing teams have toiled to bring the best their respective homes have to offer by way of cooking, for all to enjoy (and for some to judge!) As a proper send-off, everyone is invited to the shores of Moosehead Lake once more to set loose a collection of birchbark lanterns adrift.

► Paninya will be heading up a different game every day from Monday-Friday out front the Pasillo Gris at her own temporary booth, the Street-Fair Games! Warning: some games may be rigged. Play at your own discretion. Winners are allegedly gifted straw dolls, or fine venison jerky!
Monday - Bobbing for apples
Prompt Wrote:A half-barrel has been set out at Paninya's stall and she stands innocently by, cajoling folks to her play her games by waving her prizes. Within is a number of apples, innocuously bobbing in water; 'It's easy!' Paninya claims, goading competitors. 'Whoever can bob up the most apples wins!'
She said nothing about the worms, though.
Tuesday - Ring toss
Prompt Wrote:Another game has been set out today - a series of pegs have been crudely jammed into a board, and Paninya is standing by with five rope rings, twirling one on her fingers.
'This? Oh, it's not that hard! You stand behind the line, and toss these hoops onto the pegs. Simple, right?' It would be, were the rings not jammed so awkardly together and the hoops so big.
Wednesday - Cornhole
Prompt Wrote:More boards have been set out, propped up and set at a fair distance apart. Paninya is juggling little sewn pouches filled with grain when she beams over and gestures for you to come and play her game.
'Cornhole! Or, perhaps, sack toss - awful names, right?' She laughs. 'To play, you stand behind that line, and try to toss one of these little bad boys into the hole at the opposite side - that's three points. If your li'l baggie here lands on the board? That's a point. Why not give it a shot?'
Thursday - Knock-down
Prompt Wrote:Paninya has once more set up her games shop, and is leaning on her wooden stall, a table set up with what appears to be a flimsy teepee of twigs and kindling stacked onto it. In her waiting hands is a twine ball, which she passes between her palms as she eyes you mischievously.
'Ball toss! Knock down my sticks!' she crows. 'Why don't you give it a try?'
Do those sticks look... sticky to you?
Friday - Ball drop
Prompt Wrote:'I promise, no japery this time! No rigs or tricks, just pure dumb luck.' It's a little hard to trust Paninya, but at least she seems earnest this time. The peg board is back, with a few of the spokes missing, and bumpers have been crudely fastened to the sides. At the bottom of the board is a series of slots, and two open gutters. The twine ball has also made a return.
'I even have different prizes this time! You just go right on up to the top here, and drop the ball. If it falls out of bounds, though - ' she says, gesturing to the gaps on either edge of the slots. ' - you win nothing. So keep that in mind!'
Perhaps it's best that Gramma Dill doesn't seem to know that Paninya's new prizes seem to have been pilfered from her stall.
► Every day, save for Wednesday, Dusty is monitoring the Bosque's Ladder - perhaps, not so much, because it needs monitored, but because he worries it serves as a health hazard. The wooden-rung ladder, suspended by rope, tapers to points and is anchored to the ground before it stretches (thankfully at low altitude) to a thick, wooden post. In order to break the inevitable fall, straw has been strewn about on the ground. It would seem Dusty is on standby to attend the inevitable bruised egos and bloody noses that go alongside this Sisyphean challenge.
► Starting Sunday evening, Boots and brother Holly begin small-scale guided wagon hay rides and trail rides that vary anywhere from an hour, to a two-hour trip. These will continue through to Wednesday!
Trail rides are hosted during the early morning, and have a capacity for five individuals each! Del Cenere's communal horses (Bairre, Catin, Hell's Bells, Imrah, and Rhoda) will be ponied up and taken along guided tours through small trails in the immediate Burnt Church Mountains around Charmingtown, guided by Boots on her mule, Foley, and trailed by Holly on Wynona.
Wagon hay rides are hosted in the evenings, before sundown, and can host four individuals each - DCG's trade wagon will be pulled by Foley and Maricopa, and the long, simple trail ventures through the valley and foothills of the Debouille Reserve and free-roam pastures before touching the forests of Tall tree and turning back down. The landmark of Ojo del Diablo can be seen at the top of a cliff face, overlooking the lake.
