BET ON A BOVINE

Yippee-yi-yay —
cow patty bingo

BINGO, the fast-paced game that requires
an alert mind, quick reflexes and a bit of
luck has gone to the cows.

That's right, the second annual 4-H cow
patty bingo is back by popular demand at
this year’s Fall Fair.

And patience, with a bit of luck, is about
ihe only thing needed to play this game.

The game is quite simple — one cow is
left to it’s own devices to roam around in a
fenced off area that’s measured and marked
offinto one and a half foot squares.

The unsuspecting bovine’s only role is to
leave a irail of cow patties behind her —
and that’s something thal can’t be rushed,
explained Vicki Siddall who’s this years
organizer.

“Last year it took about one and a half
hours to complete the game,’’ said Siddall.

“We try to find someone very official to
be the judge, like a member of the RCMP,”

And their job requires a combination of
accuracy, a sense of humour and a strong
stomach,

“They go out and measure to decide
where the biggest heap is,’’and at least 80
per cent of the cow patty has to land in the
square.

The participants choose their numbers,

but only the head office knows what they
are, that way no onc can ‘fix’? the game.

“The big thing is to get them to move
around —— we'll get someone in there to en-
courage them,”’ added Siddall.

The choice of cow is not as arbitrary as its
bowel movements, but must be a placid
grazer thal won’t jump the fence.

The choice of cow is not as
arbitrary as its bowel move-
ments, but if must be a placid
grazer that won't jump the
fence.

“‘When they first get to the fair grounds
they turn into raving idiots,'’ Siddall said
that ai Eirst, the cows are easily spooked.

Last year the event sold out to about 180 ..

people to raise money for the 4-H club to
go towards barn improvements and events
like the Christmas party.

It only costs a Loonie to buy a square and
half of the money goes to prizes.

The event will be held in the beef rink on
Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
