Day:228, Words:228

It was prince and princess day at the Øksfjord festival. The drama school leaders were responsible for running an entertaining program for the kids. They arrived at the town hall at midday, dressed in costumes of pink and purple for the girls and crowns for the boys. The king and queen led the parade of young royals, who later participated in a group dance. There was a quiz, a storytelling session and two bouncy castles to entertain all ages from 0 - 12.

In the evening, it was time for the big kids to have some fun. It was the annual quiz night and the competitive juices started to flow. Teams of six stationed themselves at the tables, armed with pens, paper, drinks and some intelligent wit. The defending champions and overwhelming favourites spent a lot of energy deciding on a clever name for their team. In the end they kept for the same as last year, in the hope that history would repeat itself. The questions shot out of quiz master's mouth at a rapid pace and covered an array of various topics from politics to films to current affairs to translation of well known song lyrics. In an upset that smelled of a high reaching conspiracy, the favourites were narrowly beaten by some dark horse musicians.

We look forward to five days of continued festival fun.
