On a visit to Manchester in late July 2004 we were surprised to see almost everywhere we went...COWS!! A quick look at their website revealed that Cowparade is an international organisation that encourages art in schools, provides exposure for local artists (who paint the cows), and makes money for charity by auctioning the cows at the end of the event. The cows might be in your area soon. Unfotunately I can't remember the names of all the cows. Those that I can I put in quotation marks. The others I made up myself.
