Aaron Jensen, of State College, sends the elk flying in his toss attempt at Saturday-s Danville German Society annual Elk Toss charity fundraiser. MOORESBURG — Robbie Klingermann whirled the elk over his head a couple of times and tossed it. “It was easier this year to get a grip because it isn’t that cold,” the Danville man, in leiderhosen, said. “I’m kind of winded after that performance,” he said. He was among about 70 competitors who entered the annual elk toss, which was part of the Danville German Society’s annual gathering Saturday.
Though not really an elk, they tossed a replica made of burlap with wooden legs and wooden antlers.
