A wooden signpost at the festival points to various attractions like 'Privy,' 'Facepainting,' 'Woodland Stage,' 'Cold Drinks,' 'Scalawag Sausage,' and 'Loaded Fries by the Joust,' set against a backdrop of tall pine trees.
A large wooden sign shaped like a turkey leg hangs above a festival pathway, advertising 'Turkey Legs.' People in period attire walk around, and other food stalls are visible in the background.
