We would like to thank everyone who participated in this years event. A special thank you to Diane Hamilton & her 2 1/2 year old Angus Mix cow, Matilda. Diane and her "animal friends" live on a 5 acre farm located in east Ft. Myers off of S.R. 82. Matilda was released onto the Cow Chip Bingo field at 10:00 am. She did not disappoint us, she did "what comes naturally", 54 minutes - 14 seconds after being released. Diane Hamilton was the cow handler who was responsible for seeing that Matilda stayed on the playing field.

The following individuals officiated the "cow chip deposit": Beth Shaffer, Kenny Shaffer, Mary Berner & James Berner. We would like to thank Beth & Kenny Shaffer for locating and securing the use of the playing field and cow and Billy Curry who donated his time and skills as a Surveyor to lay out the playing field. Without the efforts of all of these volunteers, this event could not have taken place. THANK YOU!
