I have never heard of a Swiss Fair before. To be honest, at first I thought it sounded a bit silly. Then I started comparing it the Scottish festivals I usually attend.
Athletics: Swiss - Steinstossen and Schwingfest Scottish - Caber tossing Winner: Swiss. Come on. How can Schwingfest possibly lose?
Music: Vocal Swiss - Yodelling Scottish - Filk Winner: Swiss. Too much filk is just bad fantasy set to worse music.
Music: Instrumental Swiss - Alpenhorne Scottish - Bagpipes Winner: Scots. As cool as Alpenhorne are, bagpipes edge them out.
Animals: Swiss - Bernese Mountain Dogs Scottish - Hairy cows Winner: Swiss. Unless we're talking about which one will be served for dinner.
Cuisine: Swiss - Cheese Scottish - Haggis Winner: The winner should be quite apparent.
After comparing the two, I'm thinking I may have to head to Sugarcreek (http://www.sugarcreekohio.org/swissfestival.htm) this year.
