The premise is simple. Take a bale of hay and see how far you can toss it. Techniques vary.
Classes are divided by gender and age: 9 years old and under, 10 to 14 years old, 15 to 20 years old and 21 and over. Cash and prizes are awarded for the top finishers. Usually at least some members of the fair court also give the contest a heave.
