A hilarious look at the entertainments and cures of the past, along with a look at the 14th century vermin shows with the greatest little show on earth, "Virginia's Vermin"! 5 highly trained fleas for your pleasure and amusement! Yep, we're here to show you how to raise and train your fleas! We believe that if you give a flea a skill, he won't have time to go wandering the countryside spreading plague and disease! Each show is different, so you might want to plan on just spending the whole day at the faire to catch ALL of the action on ALL of the stages!
