A young Mexican girl is covered in abstract blotches of purple, yellow, blue and green — almost as if she’d been erratically spray-painted. At ﬁ rst look, the color is so captivating that the meaning is slow to penetrate: the colors of bruises in various stages of healing? She has a square choker around her neck, it seems like a piece of silver jewelry, but on it is embossed the sign of 1 peso. Her lips are parted and she stares out — in- nocence bought and sold, a commodity trafﬁ cked like drugs. It is so compelling that it is hard to disengage.

Su ll i v a n My wife, Kayla, and I visited the Robin Hood Springtime Festival in IGuilford for the first time last weekend, and I was thoroughly impressed. As I walked through the gates, I was immediately transported back in time to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood himself brazenly walked by his wanted posters to welcome us to his festival. He even posed for photos with youngsters who were wearing his familiar green hat and carrying a bow. In fact, all of the citizens of the shire were incredibly friendly. Faires, The size of the fairgrounds is perfect — not too big, not too small. After our first lap, we quickly learned the lay of the land and could enjoy the event without opening our map every few minutes. Our first stop was the Garden of Eatin’ food tents.

You can get your hair braided or your face painted or choose some henna body art. You can also try your hand at archery or darts, or throw daggers and javelins. There are all sorts of shows to watch, which are held on various stages throughout the day. Luckily, the stages are very close to each other, so you can move between them quickly. Acts include a juggler, a sword-swallower, a freak show (both bizarre and entertaining) and armored combat.
