As state funding shrinks, locals are looking for innovative ways to raise funds. In White Pigeon, a school fundraiser called "Cow-Poo-Looza" finds a new use for cow pies, reports the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Excerpt:
The concept involves a cow and a 500-square grid laid out on the school's playground. Proposed by the Central Parent Organization, the fund raiser will earn the school $5,000 while one lucky winner will pocket an equal amount. An allocation of 500 tickets, offered at $20 each, sold out in just a few weeks.
"It's definitely something unique that started out as a raffle concept and has turned into the centerpiece of a number of events and activities planned throughout the day," McBride said.
