In the great midwest a trip to Minnesota is warranted. There you will find a wood chopping/carving competitions, and artwork made from seeds.

If your adventures lead north east to Maine you’ll find a fisherman fair where participants compete in activities from jumping across lobster crates in the ocean, unloading and reloading traps, and other water activities.
Communities are strengthened through establishing a sense of appreciation around culturally respected activities.
