This weekend I took the kiddos to a really fantastic family-oriented event at the Agricultural Center. A group of homeschool families hosted this event to raise money for a local teen who has cancer and constantly multiplying medical bills. The event had a cow and "patty" theme and included all sorts of activities such as facepainting
A cow patty walk (sort of like a cake walk or musical chairs, cute Katelyn placed fourth!)

There was some other entertainment and talking which Natalie and Katelyn enjoyed while practicing their farm girl perch. Thankfully the photo is a little blurry so you can't tell that my poor girl's pants are drooping...again...
A cow look alike contest (cute Katelyn entered herself in this one before I even knew what was going on!)
Sadly, I have no picture of the Chick-fil-A cow. Chick-fil-A in Hendersonville was a huge sponsor of the event. As usual, they put their chicken where their "moo" is.
And finally, the grand finale! A calf from Tap Roots Dairy was released in the ring to well, create a patty. The ring represented a giant bingo grid. Each square "sold" for $10. If the accommodating calf plopped on your square, you won $500. The gracious winners contributed their winnings back to the fund to raise over $10,000 for the cause--Naomi's Blessings. Sorry for the lack of photography skills...still trying to figure out how to work my camera phone. :)
The kiddos and I had a great time. I'm now trying to talk their dad into taking us to the rodeo for some good family fun. Wonder what we'll wear...
I was hoping this event would turn up on "Teeny and Bea." It sounds like a fun evening.
