Cow Chip Bingo? Sure, For $2,250 in Prizes Why Not?

Those in charge of the annual Southeast Spokane County Fair at Rockford, Wash., faced a challenge when funding was severely cut by the county. Fund raisers have to fill the gap. So Cow Chip Bingo is one of the choices.

How does Cow Chip Bingo work?  The Arena by the Ball Park on South 1st will be lined off in squares. Tickets sell for $5, and are available in the businesses around town.  Cut off time for purchasing tickets is 1:00 p.m. Saturday September 24,  2011. Then a couple of cows will be "let loose" to do their thing. Think about it. Where can you get those kind of odds? And that kind of zany fun?

Prizes: 1st Plop - $300; 2nd Plot - $450; 3rd Plot - $600; 4th Plop - $900.

(Prizes based on 1,500 tickets sold. If less are sold the winning prizes will equal 30% of the total sales: 1st=4%; 2nd=6%; 3rd=8%; 4th=12%.)
