CTAC's Cow Patty Bingo is back

Chisholm Trail Arts Council is knee-deep into its 5th Annual Cow Patty Bingo event which is set for 1 p.m. March 23, featuring Luna, a 10-month old heifer.

Jake Parks, will lead Luna into the Bingo pen near the Claude Gill Arena at the Stephens County Fair & Expo Center in Duncan. Parks is the 6-year-old son of Justin and Dede Parks of Comanche.

"This is the fifth year the Parks family has helped us with Cow Patty Bingo. Jake is following his sister Emaleigh's lead at Cow Patty Bingo by being the one to handle the heifer in the pen. We couldn't be more excited to have Jake help us this year. He is too young to show yet, so this will allow him to practice working with Luna," said Darcy Reeves, Executive Director of Chisholm Trail Arts Council.

Returning judges for this year's event are District Attorney Jason Hicks, Janice Schornick and artist Steven Dixon. The trio will be on-site to confirm where the majority of the "plop" falls to determine the winner of the $1000 prize money. "If there is no plop by 4 o'clock, then a random ticket number will be drawn, and a winner will be declared at that time." Last year's winner was Kevin Hammack of Duncan.

Funds raised from Cow Patty Bingo go directly back to the community, Reeves said. "CTAC provides four programs to our community: Arts Explosion, Art Education in Schools, CTAC Art Gallery, and CTAC Live Concert Series."
