Meadow Muffins

The Norwich Lions Club Meadow Muffins Contest is a popular annual tradition in connection with the Fair, whereby participants “buy” a numbered plot of land in a fenced-in area, whereby each of 500 squares has an assigned, randomized number, matching each “deed”. On the last day of the fair, three heifers are brought in to determine the winner and runner-up by depositing a “meadow muffin” on the square of the lucky prize recipient!
