Man,nI do not know what some of these events are, even! You know what cownchips are, right? It seems icky enough that many festivals and rodeosnfeature cow chip throwing contests, but what is a celebrity cow chipncontest? Do participants try to create celebrity sculptures using cownchips? Or do celebrities compete with throwing the cow chips?
