Cow poop drop

[RoxMonster]

Does anywhere else do this? Or just this wacky town? lol

I teach in a rural, farming community. I just got a digital flyer for a fundraiser for a local charity. It's a cow poop drop. There is a huge bingo-like grid laid out in a cow pen. You pay $25 for each square you want, and if the cow poops on your square first, you win (it's a 50/50 type thing).

I mean, raising money for charity is awesome. But I am LOL at this type of fundraiser. It is taking place at a local festival in town, and it sounds like it has been going on for years but I'm just hearing about it now.

Haha yes. My 4-H club used to do this as a fundraiser.

This used to happen at one of the fairs near my family's town in CT. I don't know if they do it anymore, but definitely a thing up there in the late 80s/early 90s.

[medicmommy]

Yes... so ridiculous. They call it Cow Chip Bingo here or something like that.

[jinkies]

This still happens at our county fair. They call it Cow Chip Bingo.

Cow pie bingo! Lol

[glynn]

I have heard of it but never seen it done.

A local HS used to do it every year, but I'm not sure they do anymore. I'm shocked my HS didn't do it. We were one of the top FFA schools

ETA: We called it Cow Plop Bingo

The local HS is doing one. This is the first time I've heard about it. H and I bought 4 squares just to see what it's about. They were $5 each and you can win $1,000

[greysgirl]

My town does it, they also have little rides and games and stuff, like a fair. We call it cow poop day(I don't know if it's actually called that but that's what we call it).

[birdmom]

Never heard of it, but it sounds awesome!

I've never heard of anything like this at our county fair but you never know.

[RoxMonster]

Huh I had never heard of this. My county fair never had this (I live in a different city than where I work).

My school's FFA also raffles off a live pig each year. I was shocked at this my first year teaching when a student asked me if I wanted a ticket lol. Now I know this is common too.

[mekia]

Never heard of it, but if it gets money- why not. It also sounds fun!

[gummybear]

I've heard of it and have seen it done and where I live in decidedly not rural

[Ramz-ee]

My town doesn't do that, although they do host the Skunk Festival. 

The festival has rules. One of the rules states "you shall not touch anyone's skunk without permission."

My high school did this as a fundraiser for the ag program.

[Aloe Vera]

I've heard about this.

[pooh8402]

Yea it's a thing in my hometown (small rural farming/ranching community in east Texas). It's a fundraiser.

[callmehales]

My friend's sorority did it for a fundraiser. I live in suburban GA, so it was really random. And once the cow escaped, and it took them several hours to find it and get it back.

[thatgirl2478]

LOL - yeah - our town used to do that at the annual festival.

[LeggsBenedict]

white people.

[alexithymia]

My hometown in Nebraska used to do this. You know, because the rest of the country doesn't already think Nebraska is ass-backward.

[donutsmakemegonuts]

Yes! One of the local high schools does it on their football field lol.

[marcyiam]

Yep - grew up rural as well. 4-H - called it Bossy Bingo. ;-)

(I've also heard it called Bessie Bingo)

[pooh8402]

We called it Cow Patty Bingo.

[heywhat]

Yes.

I also live near a town where they do a cow chip toss. Longest distance wins. They throw discus-style.

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

Haha yeah they do it at the fairs around here.

[janetplanet20]

The last school district I worked in, one of the high schools did this as a fundraiser. It definitely is not a rural or farming town by any means. I thought it was weird, but the school makes a ton of money from it.

[Jalapeñomel]

Someone posted about here a while ago, but they called it Cow (Poop) Bingo (something like that). That was the first time I'd heard of it.
