A highlight of the East Finley Summer Festival in Claysville, Pa., in
July was the return of the popular "chicken-flying contest" after a 10-year
hiatus. As explained by the Observer-Reporter newspaper of Washington, Pa.,
chickens are placed in ordinary mailboxes, which are then abruptly opened with
a toilet plunger, which somehow sends them flying hundreds of feet, with the
longest flight winning first prize. During chicken-flying's hiatus, said
Festival sponsors, cow-patty bingo was featured but was not nearly as
exciting.
