Cow Pie Bingo fundraiser event on July 24

NEW HAMPTON — Belknap House, in conjunction with Huckins Farm will host its fifth annual Cow Pie Bingo fundraiser on Sunday, July 24 at 1:30 p.m. For those unfamiliar with this New England tradition, this is how it works. Squares, 4-foot by 4-foot, are marked on a fenced-in section of the Huckins Farm, 52 Magoon Road. Tickets that are mapped to one of these unique squares are offered for sale. A maximum of 500 tickets are sold. The number of tickets sold, determines the size of the grid in the pasture and the maximum prize awarded. Two or more cows are released into the fenced in pasture. The winner is determined by the square that receives the first cow pie or is closest to the first cow pie.

Tickets are available for purchase until 10 minutes prior to the event. Tickets may be purchased online at: belknaphouse.org/news/cowpiebingo-fthet-tpkzj until 5 p.m. on July 23.

You don’t need to be present at the event to win. Winners receive up to 25 percent of the ticket sale revenue (up to $2500).

The proceeds from ticket sales benefit Belknap House whose mission is to provide safe shelter for homeless families with children.
