I got this invitation this morning, and both the Cow Patty Bingo and Cherry Blossom Festival sound like a great time! Pass the word!

COW PATTY BINGO AND INVITATION TO CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO: LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS
FROM: FORT CHERRY HS SR. HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL
SUBJECT: CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL INFO AND COW PATTY BINGO FUNDRAISER
Greetings! Fort Cherry HS Student Council will be hosting a school and community festival on Friday April 25th 2008 at Fort Cherry High School. The event in the past has only been held during the school day for students; this year’s festival will run from 12pm-3 for students, and continue into the evening until 7pm for all members of the Fort Cherry community. The event will be held on the HS grounds, mostly along the walking track that surrounds the football field. Organizations within and outside the school host booths that range from games for kids and adults, food and drink, contests and raffles, and other activities as a fundraiser for their respective group. Prices are very affordable and all profit goes towards a good cause. This year there will likely be other featured events at the festival, including a Classic Car Cruise in the HS parking lot, bands and music, and the featured event of the evening kicking off at 6pm will be the first ever Cow Patty Bingo on the HS football field. We will break the football field into 100 squares, and each square will cost $50.00. At 6:00 we will release a cow at midfield and the square where the cow does its “business” will be the winner. The owner of the winning square will win $2, 000 and the surrounding 9 blocks will each receive $100! (We may reduce blocks sold to 50 if support is low; blocks will be randomly selected). We are encouraging all school groups, clubs and athletic teams, along with local businesses and even individuals to purchase a “block” on the field for a chance to win the grand prize of $2,000. You can then attend the event and cheer on the cow to make you a winner! If you are interested in purchasing a block or blocks, OR EVEN hosting a booth at the festival ($20 fee for setup), or would like further information, please email me at bmaxin@fortcherry.org, call me at the HS 724-796-1551 or purchase your block from the representative presenting this letter (checks made payable to Fort Cherry Student Council). Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at the Festival on April 25th!
-FOR SENIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL.

Random Rambling
I totally have this.
Furthermore, I *love* the Futility Closet blog. I'm a nerd. If you are a Ciff Claven type, you'll love it, too. Browse and enjoy, my nerdy friends. Browse and enjoy.
...and WTF is up with the FC school board? I'll be the first to admit that I, personally, couldn't come up with a solution to the overcrowding problem at the elementary center. But, I thought that's why we voted those people to serve on the school board... because they COULD come up with solutions. Anyone else think it's time for some new blood on that board?

50% off at restaurant.com
The gals over at thriftymommy have posted a reminder that today is the last day to get 50% off of gift certificates at restaurant.com.
These certificates are an excellent deal, even when they are not on sale. Hubby and I recently went to the Georgetowne Inn on Mt. Washington. We used a $25 gift certificate that we bought at restaurant.com during a 60% off sale. The regular price of the $25 cert on the site is $10, so we paid $4 for $25 worth of food and drink at the Georgetowne Inn.
A few of the other locations that are around 15340:
The Classroom in McMurray
Club 40 in Washington
Maxwell's in Meadowlands
Club Louie in Station Square
There are many more, but these are some of our favorites. Check it out... it's a great deal!

I stand corrected
During a friendly Saturday night poker game, the between-hands small talk turned to the weather. Everyone had something to say...
"We don't have any snow in Belle Vernon. It just rained and rained!"
"Our hill is covered with snow, and we just can't keep up with it!"
I threw in my $0.02, commiserating about what a tough workout it was to walk the dog on the Panhandle trail with 4-6 inches of snow and ice covering the walking surface. I painted a beautiful little story about heavy rubber bottomed snow boots and trudging through the layers of frozen precip until I thought my thigh muscles would just melt right off of my skeleton.
This afternoon, I stand corrected.
It is much, much, MUCH more difficult to walk that trail when it's covered in mud and slush. Today, while treating my dog to his lunchtime walk, I engaged muscles I never really knew I had. I slipped, slided, skidded and balanced my way to the best winter workout I ever had. If you are in decent health and don't mind getting a little mud splatter on your workout gear, I highly recommend a stroll along the Panhandle trail in this weather! It sure beats another treadmill session.
