Cows on parade...

If you've ventured to Madison during the past month, you've probably noticed that many of the city's streets have been infested ... by a herd of full-size colorful cows! As part of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board's CowParade, area artists have spectacularly designed and decorated a set of 101 fiberglass cows, which have found their way to places like the State Capitol, State Street, Monona Terrace and the UW's Bascom Hill. Nearby communities Fitchburg and Sun Prairie each have a mini-herd of five cows and a set of three cows are "roaming" the state with a traveling exhibit that will visit dozens of community events.

While the photos are nice, Be more Tuned In highly recommends taking a personal trip to check out the cows, if you have the chance. In person, the designs really jump to life and some of the cows, like a bobble-headed "Bobbin' Yount of the Moo-waukee Brewers" are actually interactive. Also, as you head out on your own cow hunt, make sure you take time to find the cow pictured above near the Wisconsin Historical Museum, because it was sponsored by WPT.
