  Leipzig Trade Fair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1190 Otto the Rich, margrave of Saxony instigated two trade fairs in Leipzig, at Easter (Jubilate) and Michelmas.
No other fair was to be held up to a mile away (Marktbann), and the bridges and streets were freed from toll.
The Michelmas fair was held at the church of St. Nikolai, built in 1176.

Michelmas also marked the beginning of the hunting season.

That basically requires the shortlist to be published at the start of the christmas term, to allow sufficient reading time, and it removes the longlist stage almost entirely, which is a shame.
An alternative that just occurred to me might be to run the award from July to July; people could then read longlisted titles over the summer, vote for the shortlist at the start of Michelmas, and vote for the winner in the runup to Picocon.
End of Michelmas 2004: Having had a chance to do a bit of reading, members are allowed to nominate any titles they feel are worthy of the OUSFG award.

 Information on the Council, Minutes of Meetings and Services Provided by Tavistock Town Council
The annual Goose Fair in Tavistock dates back to the early 12th century, when a Michelmas Fair held every September 29th provided the opportunity for business and animal trading, and was a social event for wives and daughters.
The name Goose Fair probably came about as farmers brought their geese to market ready for fattening for Christmas, and the only other Goose Fair (in Nottingham) has a similar connection.
When the new calendar was introduced in 1752 the ‘loss’ of 11 days changed the date of the Michelmas Fair to October 10th, and now the Fair is held on the second Wednesday in October each year.
