Blackawton International Festival of Worm Charming

       This is a competition held in southeastern England, teams are given a square meter of land in the middle of a field and tasked with “charming” as many worms as possible to the surface from the soil-y lair in 15 minutes. Strategies vary wildly for charming the worms, the only rule being that you can’t dig them out. Some competitors woo the worms with song, playing out beats on the ground or melodies on a lute. Others opt to ape nature, sprinkling water on their patch of ground to replicate a soft spring rain.
