The Inverness Street Fair was a Thursday through Saturday fun time; music, magicians, street performers, all free for the looking.
We first saw Mary and her sheep on Thursday, while on our way to the museum. It was obvious that something was going on, but what? Mary led the flock, while they were "behind" a fence labeled "sheep school". They would stop and interact with pedestrians, with the sheep offering to draw a picture of "ewe". Of course, all the pictures look like a sheep, or kind of like a sheep! Everyone was laughing and the lucky participant received their picture as a souvenir.
On Saturday, we found the kilt wearing Pete Anderson's Unstable Acts. He removed his kilt for the final part, while standing on a ladder and talking non-stop. This guy really knew how to work the audience, a must for a successful street artist. We watched for close to 30 minutes as he balanced, tossed knives while balancing, solved aa rubic's cube in 90 seconds while balanced on a handrail, then jumping onto the ladder. The crowd of Saturday shoppers seemed to enjoy all the different acts; I know we did.
