Cow Patty Bingo
Anyone can play Cow Patty Bingo. Players need to purchase a ticket for $10 and get a numbered square. There is no limit to the number of tickets you can buy.
Squares will be randomly laid out on the North Park’s Pie Traynor Field (next to the swimming pool). Visit the food trucks and vendors while you watch. When everything is laid out, one lucky cow will be brought to the field and let loose.
The first square that he or she drops a cow patty on wins the $5,000 prize.
