Beverly at how sweet the sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her place to see the many other pink items people are sharing.From June 15th, through October, 1999, Chicago had "Cows on Parade," a summer art project designed to create interest. Three hundred life-size fiberglass cows were decorated in various ways by different artists and displayed in various locations in and near downtown Chicago. Everywhere you looked, there were cows of all designs and colors. Johnny and I were vacationing in Chicago at the time. Today, I've selected some of the pink cows for your enjoyment.
Her name is "Piggy Cow Bank."
This cow is entitled, "Princess Paris Pink."
This one is called, "Bucolic at Xtreme."
Here's "Gladiebelle."
This one is called,"Cows in Progress."
This was our favorite, and the label said, "Diamond Cow," but Johnny and I called her Marilyn Monroe. Notice the big pink bow on her rear.After you leave a comment, be sure to check out the GIVEAWAY on my other blog Book Critiques.

Good morning Sally
Oh these pink cows are wonderful. I love the colours. I remember that year of the cows. We in Canada had moose of all while you had cows. Interesting. Its so neat that you have pics of them and I love the little cow parade pinky too.
Thank you for sharing all the loveliness of pink cows this morning.
Have a great great day!

Sally! I love your pink cows. I'm not playing Pink today but thought I'd visit a few.
Funny cows, what will people think of next!! How do I go about signing up for another Blue Monday? Laurie
Hi Sally...I remember this art exhibit, of course I only saw it on TV...it is fun to see some of them again...I think they raised a bunch of "moola" for charity, didn't they? ;-) Bo
Hi Sally. Happy Pink Saturday! I love the cows! :)
Happy Pink Saturday!
PINK cows in Chicago? How fun!
We used to have moose all over Toronto before...it was really cool!
~ Gabriela ~
I enjoyed your pretty pink cows, Sally. :o)
Thank you for showing us the ladies from the Chicago Cow Parade. You know I am crazy about them. That was the first Cow Parade ever held in the US. The first Westland figurines from that parade are all very expensive now. The "Diamonds are a Girl's Bestfriend" cow is sometimes posted on e-bay for several hundred dollars. I can only dream of ever owning her. Take care.
Sally,
The cows are so cute. As judi said, we had moose in Canada. Toronto had moose everywhere you turned. I should have a photo here somewhere.
My favorite is Princess Paris Pink. She is so calm looking in all of her pastel colors.
Thanks so much for sharing. I enjoyed seeing all these delightful cows.
Blessings,
Mary
Sally this was a really fun post. I love all the pink cows but Marilyn has to be the favorite. Smile.
Your cow display is so cute! We did something similar in our neck of the woods but at the time I wasn't blogging LOL Now , as with most of us, I carry a camera every where I go. Your pink cow display was absolutely amazing!
I don't think I have ever seen so many pink cows! Your selection was great. I do fancy the Marilyn Monroe cow the best.
take care,
Dawn
I remember these from the evening news! And yes, they interviewed Marilyn! LOL, Happy Pink!
How much fun to be there while the cows were on display. I love this idea for art...it is just so endearing. I gotta agree with you Diamond Cow steals the show!!!!
The pink cows are wonderful conversation pieces. We were in Chicago for a conference two years ago - but didn't see any cows.
Sweetie
Oh, I remember that cow project! How wonderful. Love the Marilyn Monroe cow!
Happy Pink Saturday, Sal!

Sally, I totally love the cows. My favorite is Piggy cow. Now that made me laugh. I would have loved being there.
I am up and going more than I should. I wear out real easy. Today I drove the car. I am doing better each day. Therapy is still a must. Thank you for asking Sally. I appreciate your concern.
Hugs...Jeanne
What a great pink post! We used to have decorated cows in our area. But now we don't. I have no idea what happened to them. I enjoyed looking for them. Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy Pink Saturday!
Hi Sally, I love all those pink cows! So cute!
And yes, all those flowers are in my yard!
Love, Ann
What a kick! I Love them all. Thanks for visiting my pink Saturday.
The cows are wonderful. In our small village and throughout the county altered horses are the rage. Hope you are having a great weekend.

Hi Sally...
I like DIAMOND COW, too!!! Cute!!!
Thanks for the visits and comments.
Just thought I'd let you know I updated my post about Blogger Glitches to say:
BLOGGER GLITCHES...
SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE...I have been using MODERATE COMMENTS, in order to avoid the high number of SPAM comments I was receiving. Having my comments sent to an email box is only good in that I would SEE the comments. I couldn't POST the comments to my BLOG through my email. Posting the comments can only be done through the Dashboard. So, I was just trying to eliminate another "spot" for comments and hadn't had any troubles til a couple of days ago. I hope this clears up the confusion as to where my comments are going...and why. LOL!!! I'm confused enough!!! I am now trying a different setting for comments...sorry, but Word Verification is BACK!
~Blessings,

Sally,
Your idea for this weeks Pink Saturday posting was a riot and totally original. Love all the pink cows. Definately put a smile on my face. Love your blog. Thanks for visiting mine. Come back soon !!
Love the cows on parade. Seattle did this with pigs not long ago, so so fun to see.

Sally,
Adorable cows...they just so cute! Happy Pink....Katherinellen
I think it is so cool that they did this with the cows. I remember Oprah talking about it years ago.
Justine :o )
So cute! Love those pink cows! xo Vanessa
How fun is this! Those cows are awesome! The creativity amazes me. I traveled to Saint Joseph, Michigan several times to view the carousel horses they did, and again a couple years later to view the bears. I love when a town does something like this!
Kady
These are wonderful! I like Marilyn, too!
Happy Belated PS. Love the cows! Thanks for stopping by:)
Those cows are too cool! In Tampa, they have manatees & they have them in New Orleans (but I can't remember for the life of me what the items were!!)
Thanks for visiting over at my blog :)
