Robin Hood and his Merry Men spin back the centuries for the fourth year in a row at the Sherwood Forest Faire, joined by a company of ironclad riders, bearded wizards, and colorful elves, goblins, and trolls. Bands of swarthy pirates join the festivity, stalking the fairgrounds while waiting for the tide to dislodge their ship from the River Trent, and Merlin the Wise might be found conjuring doves and levitating tables with the help of his assistant. The New Riders of the Golden Age thunder through the jousting yard on massive belgian, percheron, shire, and clydesdale horses, and hundreds of artisans and vendors sling period-appropriate—and often handmade—wares and knickknacks. Live music from performers such as Wine & Alchemy, Saxon Moon, VaNaMaZi, the Rambling Sailors, Bedlam Bards, and the Bard O’Neill accent the festival's schedule.

Food stalls help guests understand how people ate before the advent of multicolored ketchup while they fuel up, and Robin Hood himself presides over a table that groans with heavy courses of roasted and grilled meats, soups, fruits, and cheeses. Camping is available onsite for $5–$10 per person.

The Groupon Guide to: Basketball Plays

Though it might seem like basketball players are just running around to maintain enough sweat to look beautiful on television, they are actually running complex offensive plays. Here are some simple plays that you can try out next time you hit the hardtop:

Dribble Drive: Each offensive player grabs a basketball and dribbles to the hoop. The one who dribbles fastest wins the points.

Pick and Roll: One of the players "picks" which teammate he believes will be the one to shoot the ball. If he is correct, the player that took the shot has to call a timeout so he can immediately get his reward—a "roll" filled with ham and creamed corn.

Backdoor Cut: This is considered the trickiest play in basketball because it requires the offensive team to distract the defense by having their coach put on a top hat, wander onto the court, and ask the defensive players if they'd like to see what his head looks like without a top hat. If the defensive players ignore the coach's distraction, the offensive players should blow on the defenders' eyes until the dryness becomes unbearable.
