Moose Dropping Festival – USA
In Talkeetna, Alaska, townsfolk used to gather for a festival that included dropping moose poop from a hot air balloon. The droppings were numbered and turned into a quirky lottery, with cash prizes awarded to whoever’s numbered nugget landed closest to a target.
Yes, moose poop as currency. The festival also included arts, beer, and a parade—but the airborne excrement was clearly the star. Though eventually canceled due to crowd issues, the legend of moose-dropping bingo lives on in Alaska’s hall of bizarre traditions. File this one under “WTF, nature edition.”
