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.

It's for a great cause
For all of my golf-loving neighbors, I encourage you to support the Amity family and their fight against Autism. I worked with Duane Amity a number of years ago, and we still keep in touch from time to time. It looks like you get a lot for the $$$, so if you love to golf and want to support a good cause, check it out! If you are interested, leave a comment and I'll email you a copy of the registration form.
Amity Golf Scramble Fundraiser
Saturday, July 19th, 2008
Village Green Golf Course
Please join us as we raise money for our friends (Duane and Linda Amity) and their children’s fight against Autism. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Amity family in order to assist them in paying for medical treatments for their children Nicholas and Kaitlin. Proceeds from the past 2 golf outings have topped $16,000 and we are anxiously looking forward to adding more to that total in July of 2008.
• For a GREAT CAUSE!!!
• 18 holes of scramble golf / cart included
• *Shot Gun Start at 8:30 AM
• Food (“All you can eat” burgers, dogs and wings) and Beverages (beer and pop) after golf
• 1st Place, 2nd place, Skins, Skill and Door Prizes
• Cost $100
• We are required to have 130 golfers for a shotgun start. We had 104 golfers in 2007 and they did allow us to have the scramble, and although they may allow us to do that again, it would be best if we can get 130 golfers.

Ben & Jerry Bliss
Where-oh-where in Hickory (or the surrounding area) can I find the new Ben & Jerry's Cake Batter ice cream? I only ask, because I imagine that if I brought this home to my hubby he would, without a doubt, do things to me that would make...
well...
I guess this is a public blog, so we'll leave that to the imagination of the reader.
I swear that my hubby has the taste buds of a 7 year old. He's into the Birthday Cake ice cream at Bruster's, too. Any time a dessert involves batter, birthday cake, jimmies or icing, he's all over it. Something tells me that if I could just bring a pint of this home, I'd get full body massages for a week straight. I have GOT to find a place around here that carries it. If anyone finds it, either buy an extra case for me or let me know where to buy my own.

Calling all fugly people!
Look 'Unusual?' You Can Be A West Virginian In Julianne Moore's Pittsburgh Movie
I actually had to read this article a few times, because the first time through I thought it was a casting call for "My Big Fat Redneck Wedding".
Here's the gist:
"...we are looking for people to populate a West Virginia 'Holler.' People who have any of the following attributes should attend:Extraordinarily tall or short. Unusual body shapes, even physical abnormalities as long as there is normal mobility. Unusual facial features, especially eyes."
They are also searching for an "otherworldly" looking 9-12 year old Caucasian girl. And now, for my favorite line, "Regular-looking' children should not attend this open call."
When the Trib asked Donna Belajac (casting) about the generalization of West Virginians, she replied, "Some of these 'holler' people -- because they are insular and clannish, and they don't leave their area -- there is literally inbreeding, and the people there often have a different kind of look. That's what we're trying to get."
So, if you are super fugly, are deformed, or are abnormal in any way but you can still get around, head on over to the Holiday Inn North Hills on McKnight Road on March 2 from 1 - 5 PM.
