Carnival / Festival Ideas

Has anyone created any carnival games outside of the general test of skill.

One idea I have is to do a scavenger hunt based on riddles.
Would anyone mind posting unique events they've created?

One event based on history was to find, chase, and capture a pig with a prize on it.

Depends had many carnivals, fairs stuffs to do:

-Arm-wrestling
-Drinking games
-Races/chases
-Archery
-duels/combat
-Jousting
-contests with performances
