Recreated from scratch in Libre Office Writer, but content based upon original image found at https://sites.psu.edu/245spring2015/2015/11/30/folsom-street-fair/ archive copy at the Wayback Machine

Capitalisation from that version was tidied up and made more consistent.

Rather than determining the exact colours from the original image using a colour picker, colour names were instead typed into Google and the resulting HTML hex colour codes were used to format the table cell colours.
