On Saturday, June 2, Brattleboro, VT hosted their sixth annual Strolling of the Heifers Parade. It's actually a three day festival, but I only went to watch the parade. According to strollingoftheheifers.com, the parade and festival have been named one of the Green Mountain State’s Top Ten Summer Events for five years in a row by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce!
It was a blast! There were about 30,000 people in attendance, and every one of them was hootin' and hollerin' for all of the critters on parade! And people really get into it...
Miss Annie and I were "udderly smooth"! (The cow puns abounded all day...)
Even Officer Penny got into the spirit.
The Dairy Fairy warmed up the crowd before the parade rolled by.
Does this logo seem familiar???
Each cow was bedecked with a flower necklace and a name plate!
Some of the cows needed a little...encouragement...to get going.
Some of the names seemed a tad ominous...
But all of the cows were so cute!
And some were quite vocal.
The cows were leaving "gifts" in the street, but not to fear! Wonder Woman's here! I guess even super heroes like cows.
Where there are cows, there are tractors.
And more tractors.
Wait a second... That tractor is run on manpower!
Cows weren't the only critters at the parade!
And of course, party animals! You can take the boy out of the city...
By the end of the day we were all tuckered out.
I can't wait to go again next year. MOO!
