I remembered the Strawbear festival from a visit with our young family over a decade ago. It was an amazingly colourful spectacle that attracted 20 to 40 serious photographers. I was amazed to see at least two dry plate cameras in use. It was incredibly hard to get good shots with people swarming everywhere. The photographers in front of the procession had to run, turn shoot, shoot, and then run again as if they were a retreating army before the advancing plough, plough drawn by plough boys and bear with his keeper leading a vast column of musicians and dancers. Great fun
