The 30th Annual Cow Pie Social Was Down Home Family Fun! ~ Emma Garcia

Murphys, CA…On Sunday October 13th the Bret Harte FFA hosted its’ 30th Annual Cow Pie Social event at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys. It was a fun-filled family day with bounce houses, volleyball, balloons for the kids, and the game of cornhole! The Bret Harte FFA Boosters cooked a fabulous meal of BBQ Tri-Tip, famous Beck’s beans, salad & french bread. 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, Dominic Santella and Rowan Perry 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 30th annual cow pie drop was Dick Terry. A special thank you goes to Ironstone Vineyards, the Kautz Family and the Bret Harte FFA Boosters for helping to make 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 example of how we have been striving for excellence since 1973.
