Bartholomew Fair Daily
Bartholomew Fair Daily, the name of this imaginary news site, is named after a real fair that began in the 1100's. At that time, fairs were more than just a place to shop and sell -- they were major events that brought people and news from far and wide. One famous fair was the Bartholomew Fair, which started in 1133 and continued to be held for about 800 years. It was held every August on St. Bartholomew's Day at Smithfield, outside London, and became known across England for its merchandise and entertainments.
