Cow Parade   Add to Favorites   Flag

  1. Cow Parade Wisconsin was an event held in 2006. Madison and the surrounding communities played host to a herd of 101 artistically created fiberglass cows for nearly five months. The life-size decorative cows were placed around the State Capitol building and at various other locations. When the event was over, the cows were auctioned off and more than $550,000 was raised to benefit charity. The majority of the proceeds went to help build the new American Family Children's Hospital in Madison. Other proceeds went to benefit more than 30 other non-profit organizations.
