Three-O-Nina needs a touch up, and you get to do it! Only $1.00 to paint the cow

Saturday August 20, 2011 - 10:00am to 5:00pm

An inexpensive lunch, snacks and drinks available for purchase.

Paint the cow Flier.

You can help to promote the event by placing a copy at work, handing them out to your Scout unit, your friends and family.

Sponsored in part by Krugel's Georgetown Deli.

Personally, I like the way the cow is currently painted, so I'm hoping this is just a touch-up. Three-O-Nina has had several different paint jobs over the decades, and some of them have been pretty obnoxious. Assuming that what the Boy Scouts have in mind isn't some abomination, I plan to take part in this. Then, for years to come, I'll be able to look at this cow and think, "I helped paint that!"
