This block party has everything: The classic summer foods, great music, games, raffles, fireworks, a parade, and of course cow poop bingo.

Not only cow poop bingo, high stakes cow poop bingo.

A grid is painted on part of the baseball field. Tickets are sold for each square. A cow is sent into the field. If the cow "flops" on your square, you win $5000.00.

Proceeds benefit Throop Little League.

This video was taken June 28, 2015, at the 27th Throop Cow Flop. As near as I can tell, a great time was had by all.

Music was by Daddy-O and the Sax Maniax.

This Episode shows highlights from the 2015 St Ubaldo Day, AKA the Race of the Saints or La Festa Dei Ceri in Jessup, PA.

Background:

Every year, on memorial day weekend, La Festa Dei Ceri is celebrated in Jessup, PA. This festival celebrates the actions of Bishop Ubaldo Baldassini, who was canonized as St. Ubaldo. St Ubaldo rescued the town of Gubbio, Italy by talking Barbarossa out of sacking the town. Before he could return with the news, the town was overcome with fear and panic. Lacking CNN or any social networking sites, and with his health failing, Ubaldo needed a way to tell the town he was fine--in a hurry. So he had himself carried on a platform carried by young men from the town. They ran through the city, calming the population. In Gubbio, this event was reenacted by carrying a statue of St. Ubaldo along the same route. Later Statues of St. George and St. Anthony were added. When immigrants from Gubbio settled in Jessup, PA, they brought this tradition with them.

Thus, in Jessup, PA, the Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend is St. Ubaldo Day, and it culminates in the Race of the Saints.
