Pins fly at Etoile Fair Sisters take toss honors in divisions By GINA KINSLOW Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Sherrilyn Mutter talked her daughters, Jaime Riley and Carrie Alexander, into taking part in the Rolling Pin Throwing Contest on Saturday at the Etoile Fair.
She did, she said, “Because it’s fun. It’s just fun.” The object of the event is to see how far married women can throw a wooden rolling pin across a field. The contest was run in heats, in two divisions. Those who were either newlyweds or who had been married less than five years went first. Riley was in that category, along with three other women. The distance each woman threw was marked with neon orange spray paint. Riley, who was talked into participating in the event shortly after arriving at the fair Saturday, threw the rolling pin the farthest and was declared the winner of her category. She received a medallion strung on a pink satin ribbon. A family friend approached Riley soon after she had been declared the winner and asked, “Why didn’t they give you a rolling pin?” “They did. It’s right there,” Riley said pointing to the image of a rolling pin on her medallion. There was some talk about whether Riley knew how to make biscuits. She said she did. A rolling pin is not required for the ones that she makes, which come ready-made in a can at the supermarket. Riley’s sister, Carrie, was one of several women who took part in the Seniors Over Five Years category, and like her sister, she too was declared the winner. Her secret to winning the event, she said, was her athletic ability. “I played ball all my life,” she said.
