In a small persons event locally the Caber was 4" plastic plumbing pipe with an end cap for the "wide" end and the whole 6' length wrapped in 1/2 inch insulating foam wrap firmly glued to the pipe. One young lad lost control of the Caber and went down with the Caber landing on him with zero injury. During the event all others than the one competitor are kept a considerable distance from the activity. The Hammer Toss was styrofoam balls glued to the ends of wrapping paper tubes. The sheaf toss was a small bundle of rags. A piece of closet pole and two 12' step ladders took care of the height events. We had obtained youth size pitchforks from the local hardware store. Dumbell weights were used for the weights for distance throw. (Large eye bolt through the centre, a short chain and a snow shovel D-handle.)

All were supervised by a core of adult safety people, with student leaders running and scoring the events. Everyone had fun and the event will recur.
