Guernsey Cow Parade announced for the summer

A herd of fibreglass cows will grace Guernsey's public spaces this summer.

The project will involve local artists decorating the cows, which will be displayed before being auctioned in aid of the Guernsey Adult Literacy Project.

Organiser Trevor Wakefield said the cows were in the production phase and would be shipped to the island shortly.

Mr Wakefield was responsible for Guernsey's Donkey Parade last year, which raised more than £58,000 for the Guernsey Adult Literacy Project.

The parade saw 41 painted donkeys displayed around Guernsey over the summer.

The cows will be displayed from 1 July, and more artists are being sought to get involved in the scheme.

woo hooo i cant wait , really enjoyed the donkeys, bring on the cows !!

The donkeys were a super event . i hope the cows will do just as well . a lot of work goes into this .

i wonder if kingcole objects to a cow parade ..should be ok if the cows arent pink x lol

We had a cow thingy here a couple of years ago, nothing objectional about that. Although I did think that cows painted in pretty patterns looked a bit naff.

Bit like Paris Hilton look-a-likes LOL
