Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel Wows Crowds at Carolina Classic Fair
BREAKING: Twiggy, the sensational water-skiing squirrel, has taken the spotlight at the Carolina Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, captivating audiences with her incredible skiing skills. This must-see attraction opened on October 3, 2023, and runs until October 12, 2023, drawing in visitors eager to witness her jaw-dropping stunts.
In a dazzling performance captured by WAND News, Twiggy showcased her athleticism, sporting vibrant fluorescent yellow safety gear as she expertly maneuvered a miniature jet ski. The five-year-old squirrel, officially named Da Baby, demonstrated impressive control, holding the strings tightly with her paws while expertly balancing on the ski.
This year marks the eleventh iteration of Twiggy to perform since the original debuted in 1978. The Carolina Classic Fair, one of America’s largest and longest-running festivals, attracts over 1 million visitors each year, making it a highlight of the fall season.
Twiggy’s performances are carefully managed by her handlers, including Lou Ann Best and her husband Chuck, who ensure all safety measures are in place before she takes to the water. The Best family has a long history with Twiggy; they adopted the first squirrel after a hurricane devastated her nest in Central Florida. Lou Ann trained eight squirrels for water skiing before passing the reins to her son, Chuck Best Jr.
The Carolina Classic Fair is a delightful eleven-day event featuring agricultural exhibits, carnival rides, and a variety of culinary delights, alongside charming attractions like Twiggy. Crowds are already lining up to catch her performances, making her a true highlight of the fair.
With just a few days left to experience the magic, fairgoers are encouraged to attend and witness Twiggy’s remarkable skills. As the excitement builds, the fair promises to be a memorable experience for families and friends alike.
Don’t miss your chance to see Twiggy in action before the fair concludes this weekend!
