The women’s “Skillet Toss” Competition is coming back to the Chenango County Dairy Day celebration held on Saturday, June 19. Women start lifting your weights (children, shovels or tennis racquets). It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your throwing arms at peak performance.

The day long, family-friendly event, Dairy Day, is held at the Chenango County Fair Grounds at East Main Street, and it celebrates all things agricultural and healthy. The Skillet Toss, a fund raising activity to benefit Chenango County Habitat for Humanity’s (CCHH) housing projects, is hoping to attract some able-bodied, strong Fair going women. Farmers, mothers, students, executives…women from 18 to 108 can compete.

“What is the Skillet Toss” you ask? It’s a distance competition, which involves the throwing of a specially fabricated and weighted 3 ? pound steel skillet. Different techniques and the steel skillet’s aerodynamic behavior are involved in the resulting tossing distance. Two attempts are permitted. This is not an Olympic sport yet, but who knows.
