Sounds like a great contest, but I missed it

Read with interest through the newspaper sections devoted to the results of contests held at the Addison County Fair and Field Days. One contest seemed especially interesting, and I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it. It was the Ladies' Cast Iron Skillet Throw competition.
Some of the other interesting competitions: Pedal Tractor Pull, Hand Mowing Contest and the Men's Caber Toss. (Still nothing quite as colorful as the Watermelon Seed Spitting, Frog Jumping and Greased Pole Climbing competitions I observed years ago at Old Roxbury Days in Roxbury, Connecticut.)
