The Cows are Coming Home in 2003!
CowParade will be hosting the cows in its hometown of West Hartford, Connecticut from September 1 through December 1, 2003. "CowParade West Hartford, The Cows Come Home" will feature thirty or more original creations by top regional artists and a special 'Moooving Herd' collection of cows from past events, turning this charming, yet cosmopolitan New England town into a virtual cow museum.

To make this event 'udderly' unique, CowParade will invite top artists from past CowParades.

CowParade West Hartford will conclude with a live auction benefiting the Connecticut Children's Medical Center and several other local charities.
