THE COW PARADE

The "world's largest public art event" took place in Las Vegas between October 2002 and January 2003. Local artists painted the cows which were eventually auctioned off with much of the proceeds going to charities. Such cows also appeared in Chicago, New York, Kansas City, Houston, and London.
