Kirk Marshall
The sunrise had been exemplary the day of the county fair, something that Kirk took the time to appreciate as he set up his booth. Putting together a place for horseshoe throwing was about as easy as it got, but given the complete strategical time-keeping of those in charge, it had taken far longer than it should have. Still, he took pleasure in the simplicity. Two metal stakes were pounded into the ground at varying distances, lines drawn in the dirt to represent scores from 10 to 40, with a wooden booth set up in front of them. A pole stuck straight up from the counter top, from which sat a pile of horseshoes he had crafted himself.
The fair itself could not have come a single day sooner. Elon Emberstatt had perished that morning, stabbed through the heart by the remaining district four tribute, and the general mood needed to be lightened before there was another riot or something similar to it. Nailed to the top of his booth in neatly spaced rows were the nameplates he had spent weeks working on; the names of those that had fallen in the arena since he was ten years old.DISTRICT TEN HONORS THEIR TRIBUTES

Beneath the names was the prize sheet, a wooden plaque with words painted in bright and cheery colors.

Ringer - Tribute Nameplate
If the sound of cheers and clapping were any indication, the mayor had just cut the ribbon, and people were bound to be pouring in at any moment. Whistling a jaunty tune, Kirk wiped down his counter with a damp cloth and waited for the first person to try their hand at throwing shoes.
