INSIDE POOP ABOUT MOOSE DROPPING FESTIVAL (JULY 10)

TALKEETNA, Alaska (Wireless Flash) -- The folks in Talkeetna, Alaska, have some crappy plans for this weekend -- literally. The tiny town will be holding its 27th Annual Moose Dropping Festival and thousands are expected to show up for the excrement- oriented events. The highlight will be a contest called the "Moose Dropping Drop." The game involves more than 750 numbered moose turds which are dropped from a hot-air balloon hovering over a giant "X." The contestant holding the number of the moose patty that falls on the X wins $1,000, while the owner of the nugget that lands farthest from the X must sweep up the field. The festival will also feature a moose flop toss and a crafts fair displaying jewelry made out of moose turds. And that's the inside poop.
