A timer will count down 5 minutes and an air horn blown to signal the start of the event. Then wherever the cow makes a deposit will determine the winning square. There will be other activities and entertainment associated with the event. Non-ticket holders will be charged  $1 admission or a can of food for the food shelter.

PRIZE: The one and only grand prize will be 10% of the gross ticket sales up to a maximum of $1000.

• Pacesetters Inc. will select three independent judges. They will determine the winning square and their decision will be final.
• Pacesetters staff and volunteers will lay the arena off into 500 squares
• There will be no more than 500 tickets sold at $20 each
• To insure fairness and impartiality the squares will be assigned RANDOMLY. Thus there would be no way for anyone to know in advance his or her assigned square/s
