Heifers in the Hub
Boston, MA

Its that time of year again… For the past couple of years, these Cows have been seen across the city every spring and summer. Local artists help to create these life size heifers and all proceeds from their eventual sales go to the Jimmy Fund. The Cow Parade website says the following:

CowParade Mooves to the Hub!_Returning to its historical, and pastoral, roots in the summer of 2006, Boston’s parks, plazas and streets will be filled with life-size cows. Organized by and benefiting The Jimmy Fund, CowParade Boston will take place in the summer of 2006 when over 100 life-size, painted cows will be on display. The public display will begin during the first week of June and conclude on September 5, 2006. At the conclusion of the public display, the cows will be rounded up and sold to the highest bidders. Approximately 50 of the cows will be sold at a live auction in October 2006 and following the live auction, the remaining cows will be sold in an online auction. The proceeds from these auctions will benefit The Jimmy Fund. Quick Facts About the Event._Cows Graze: 1st Week of June – September 5, 2006_Gala Auction: October 2006_Herd Goal: 150 cows!

I encourage everyone to go search for the cows. So far, I have spotted them in the Common and at Christopher Columbus Park.
