At first I was kinda bummed when I saw the cows. Around almost every corner in the downtown area, I found a fiberglass cow decorated to fit into the area where it was firmly mounted. A taco cow was near food and monopoly cow near the banks, etc.
After I discovered that the art exhibit was a traveling one, I was relieved that they would eventually be on their way. There’s enough evidence for Texas’ history of steer, and despite the great effort to artistically decorate each one uniquely, it’s still too much for this state.
It might have worked very well in the previous 75 cities, 30 countries and 6 continents that it has already been installed. But in Texas, a decorated cow just doesn’t stand out as interesting.
Grab the cows by their horns and snap a photo, because sometime in October several will be auctioned off and the Cow Parade will be rounded up and shipped the hell out of this town. Bye, Bye…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
