How Do You Play Cow Chip Bingo?
Cow Chip Bingo, often called “Bessie Bingo,” has been a popular fundraising event in rural areas for years, and it is a favorite at country fairs. It is a fun way to earn money for your organization, provided you can persuade a farmer to lend you some cows. Decide ahead of time on prizes for your Cow Chip Bingo fundraiser. First prize is usually half of the money earned through raffle sales. Ask local business to get involved and to donate prizes in exchange for advertising at the event. Use paint to mark off a large area or a field into one-yard squares. Put up to 3 cows in a field and wait for one of them to “do its business.” Award the prize to the person who owns the square where the cow drops a cow patty.
