Iowa State Fair: 1979 Rolling Pin Throwing


Before state fairs became best known for Krispy Kreme doughnut burgers and other artery-hardening delights, they made the news for such compelling athletic activities as a Rolling Pin Throwing Competition. This clip is from the 1979 Iowa State Fair. Special bonus points for the soundtrack of a disco-ized theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. (via r/ObscureMedia)
