The Holmdel Independent has a story about last weekend’s cow-pie bingo fundraiser at a farm in Middletown, which we advanced last week.

Turns out the cow, named Mary, was in no rush to drop a load. A DJ tried playing “Moon River” and some golden oldies over the PA system, which probably says as much about the DJ’s habits as the cow’s, because Mary took her sweet-ass time. Vendors started packing up their wares and the crowd thinned out.

From the report:

Finally, after two and a half hours, Mary made her mark. The lucky winner was from Red Bank.

“She was a little bit shy,” (farm owner Bill) Potter said afterward, “with all that pressure she was under.”

He meant the cow, we presume.
