Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin - Bovine Bingo and Cow Chip Throw

Anyone can take part in the Wisconsin State Cow Chip Throw in Prairie du Sac, Sept. 1-2, but it takes a powerful toss to win. The men's record (Greg Neumaier, 1991) is 248 feet and the women's (Terry Wallschleger, 1996) is 150 feet. Kids love chucking a dried cow chip of their own, and gamblers can place their bets on bovine bingo (a wandering cow lets the chips fall where they may on a numbered grid). More than 250 competitors and 40,000 spectators attend.
