Unfortunately, the games were delayed by two hours, making the frying pan toss the only scheduled event to still stand before sunset. My assignment yesterday at the Derry Township Agricultural Fair was to photograph the country folk games where contestants compete in a frying pan toss, carpentry skills contest, a blind wheelbarrow race and a water hauling competition.
