Murphys, CA…On Sunday October 15th the Bret Harte FFA hosted its’ 28th Annual Cow Pie Social event at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys. It was a fun-filled family day with bounce houses, face painting, volleyball, and balloons for the kids, as well as a tri-tip dinner prepared and cooked by the Bret Harte FFA Boosters. For the adults, there was a horseshoe tournament and Chicken Chip Bingo game. Cattle were brought to the corral by our very own Ref-Turd-Rees, Emily Bolton and Mason Davis who were the official judges to determine the winner of the Cow Pie drop. Attendees anxiously waited to see if a cow pie would drop in their square and be a winner of $200, $300, or $1000. The $1000 winner of the 28th annual cow pie drop was Susan Middleton.

A special thank you goes to Ironstone Vineyards, the Kautz Family and the Bret Harte FFA Boosters for helping to making this annual event a success. We hope everyone will come to see where the Cow Pie drops next year and continue supporting the agricultural youth of the Bret Harte FFA Chapter! Just another event to prove that it always seems impossible until it is done!
