Bessie Bingo

So you wanna win $100?  A lot of people do.
That's why they play BESSIE BINGO!

Every year at the 4th of July celebration at the park, my 4-H friends and I sell Bessie Bingo squares to raise money for our chapter.

Here's how it works:
We have 100 squares that we sell on a map.  And we have 100 squares spray painted on the ground in an empty pen.  Once all the squares are sold (for $2 each or $10 for 6), a dairy heifer ("Bessie") is released into the pen.  Whichever square she *PLOPS* on, we check the map and see whose name is on that map square, and they win $100!

We sold three full maps of squares, so we gave away three prizes of a hundred dollars each, and 4-H made about $300 profit!

If you're ever in Crescent for the 4th of July, come play BESSIE BINGO with us!
