Miss Drumsticks

The Miss Drumsticks contest began as a companion to the Arkansas Turkey Trot festival which, in turn, is famous for the tradition (now discontinued) of hurling live turkeys out of a plane.

Contestants concealed their upper half behind a picture of a turkey so they could be judged on their 'drumsticks' alone.

I believe the contest continues to this day.

There must have been more than one Butterface in the contestants.
