The Magic Bus Trip

It looked like just another evening of bingo at a fire hall somewhere in York County, except the prizes differed from most games.

Meat, massive amounts of it, awaited the winner of each round. Many have heard of playing bingo for pretty baskets, but once a year in Stewartstown, they hand out juicy cuts of beef, pork, chicken and seafood.

The novelty of it draws many players, and in these lean economic times, a $12 ticket makes for a cheap gamble on the chance to win a butcher’s bonanza. For others, the occasion has simply become an annual tradition.

“It’s a cultural event,” said Emily Cooper, 28, of East Hopewell Township. “It’s part of being from southern York County, going to meat bingo.”
