Blossom flops at Cow Pie Bingo competition

What is this cow doing standing in a checkerboard pasture next to Gray-New Gloucester Middle School? Why, Blossom, the Hereford cow owned by Paul and Wendy Gallagher, is a pie producer for Cow Pie Bingo.

On Friday, May 20, the G-NGMS 8th-grade Frog Squad played the game in the upper field of the Middle School.

The Frog Squad invited friends and family members to purchase two-foot squares on the grid. If Blossom dropped a pie on a square, it was a winner-and whoever "owned" the square won a prize.

Blossom arrived at 3:00 P.M., looking to be in top shape for the event. She strolled contentedly around, probably wondering why all those people were watching her so closely. Perhaps it was the ever-changing weather perhaps she was just shy; perhaps she was suspicious of the hot dogs being served by Lonnie Humphrey. Whatever the reason, Blossom left no prizes that day. So a consolation drawing was held, and Mary Seger took home a cash prize.

Proceeds from the bingo game will go toward a final overnight for the 8th-graders at the Freeport YMCA in a few weeks, and to complete payment for a retreat the students had attended earlier.

Ms. Morgan and Mr. Bergner, Frog Squad leaders, said the students had fun organizing the bingo game, and would like to make it an annual event.

Nobody asked Blossom her opinion.
