World Championship Cow Chip Throwing Contest, Beaver, Oklahoma

The World Championship Cow Chip Throwing Contest is an annual event that's been held since 1970 in Beaver, Oklahoma - a town where cows reportedly outnumber people by 16 to one! It's a unique competition that involves throwing dried cow pies (also known as cow chips) as far as possible. Participants compete in three categories: Men's Open, Women's Open, and Co-ed Open. The winner in each category receives a cash prize, a belt buckle, and the title of World Champion Cow Chip Thrower.
