Nottingham Goose Fair

Complete the sentences.

800 years ago people went to Nottingham to the Goose Fair once a year!
In that time the villagers had geese and other animals. In autumn they drove (hier =treiben) the geese to Nottingham and sold them on the market. With the money they got they bought tools and cloth.

Today Nottingham Goose Fair takes always place on the first week in October. There are many rides and attractions. If you like fast rides you can take 'The Spider'. Even faster than that is the rollercoaster with two loopings. Parents with small hildren can go to the 'Carousel'. This roundabout turns more slowly but is great fun.
