🐄💩 WHO REMEMBERS COW CHIP BINGO?! 💩🐄

We’re bringing back an old-fashioned favorite NEW this year at the Marion Area Historical Society for Heritage Days on September 12th
! 🎉
We’re working on the details for our very first COW CHIP BINGO! 🐄🎯

Here’s how it works: We’ll have a giant bingo board laid out on the ground, sell squares, and then let a heifer (or two 😉) do the choosing! Wherever the cow decides to “drop” her chip, the person who purchased that square WINS! 🏆💩😂

But before we finalize all the details…

👇 TELL US YOUR COW CHIP BINGO MEMORIES! 👇

Have you played before? Where was it? What do you remember? Any funny stories or traditions?
Share your memories in the comments! We’d love to hear them as we plan this fun new event! ❤️

🐄💩🎯 Cow Chip Bingo is coming to Marion! 🎯💩🐄
