The Husband-Calling Contest

Some small-town festivals have pig-calling contests, while others celebrate them with watermelon-eating face-offs. For the past four years, Waynesburg, Pa.'s, venerable Rain Day festival has thrown a husband-calling contest where the winner is judged for being the most obnoxious contestant. "The high scorer is the last woman I'd want to have as a wife calling me, the boroughs police chief, Tim Hawfield, told the Observer-Reporter newspaper in Washington, Pa. He thought up the silly affair and serves as one of its judges. Brought to you by the blog, Travel with a Beveridge.
