Avon Historical Society Cow Chip Raffle 2011

Did We See You at Avon Historical Society's Fourth Annual Cow Chip Raffle?

The weather on this iffy October Saturday may have proved too much for some visitors, but the contestants didn't show any hesitation in entering the field. The viewing crowd swelled to about 30 at its peak. This year's contestants, "Tallulah," "Clementine" and "Edna Lou" arrived on the scene to dispense their votes in what was a "nail biter" for the first 30 minutes.

Cow Chip Raffle 2011 Winners:

1st Place ($250) - Greg Ranaldi

2nd Place ($100)- Marcela Bettencourt

3rd Place ($50)- Glenn Lawrence

One sharp dressed guy (Glenn Lawrence) and one extremely well coordinated gal (Wendy Zacchera) were in attendance this year. Talullah was kind enough to pose with them, with Simmons Family Farm in the background.

Avon Historical Society wishes to thank Simmons Family Farm for hosting the event, not to mention providing the cows, the Town of Avon for drawing and staking out the field and, of course, Mary Harrop and Sharon Genovese for organizing the event. Thanks to everyone for making this a success year after year! We hope to see you at Cow Chip Raffle 2012.
