World Cow Chip Throwing Championship: Nine-time champion James Pratt: "I am just in it for the challenge. I got into it in 1992. I used to work for the city here, we have a parade every year and the contest just developed as a part of that and we got into it. I have been doing it every year since and have been getter the better for it; practice is just all it takes, that, and a lot of luck. Between the first and second throws you are supposed to lick your fingers for luck, which I do sometimes. People say I have got to be doing something right because I am always winning. I certainly don?t train. I just want to see how far I can throw it. Nowadays, we have people from all over the world coming to check out what is happening, everywhere from Texas, Kansas, to Hawaii."
