There will also be a COW PIE Bingo event on race day. What is Cow Pie Bingo? In a game of cow pie bingo, a cow is led to a spot that is drawn at random on a field marked with a 100-square grid. The plot where the first “deposit” is made is the winner. Each plot is approximately 15’ by 15’ and are $10 each. Chances are one in 100 to win a $500. All names will be randomly drawn and placed on the 100-square grid. Merilyn, the cow, will be led to a randomly drawn spot on the grid and released at 7:30 a.m. She will be joined by an additional cow in 15 minute intervals until there are four cows total on the grid. There will be only one winner per grid. The BS judges will determine which square the first deposit is made on. If the deposit spills onto two or more squares, the judges will determine which square contains the highest volume of BS. The winners will be announced at the 5K awards ceremony
