The Global TravelerFarmers Market

Madison, Wisconsin now has a “Cow Parade” going on throughout the city. There are 101 different cow sculptures uniquely painted by local artists. The majority of the artwork relates to Wisconsin, cows/farming, or Madison specifically. Some artists even manage to tie in all three themes. Jess and I went around this past weekend and had our picture taken with ALL of them. Yes, All of them. Actually, thats not true. We did miss 8 of the cows. 3 are touring Wisconsin and are not yet in Madison, and 5 were “out to pasture” for repair. We will post more pictures of our Cow Excursion, but for now, here are two of our favorites. We hope you enjoy.

    The Cow Parade really was a lot of fun. It’s a great way to see a lot of downtown at once. Milwaukee did something like this two summers ago called the Beastie Beat which benefited the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. There were far less Beasties, they were less detailed than the cows, and I think the got messed with more. What was especially neat about the Cow Parade is that there were many other couples and people doing the same thing we were – biking and walking around Madison and talking pictures of the cows.
