Strolling Of The Heifers 2008

A light-hearted take on Spain’s Running Of The Bulls, this is an event that most would simply refer to as “The Cow Parade” in Brattleboro, VT. But that’s certainly not all – this event is designed to be cute and fun, but it’s also a powerful force for aiding local agriculture and education, raising funds and promoting awareness. With each year having an appropriate theme, the message for the seventh annual Strolling is “Live Green!” Helen Robb (a local dairy farmer who helped establish the parade and festival) explained this year’s motif: “We chose ‘Live Green!’ as the theme for this year’s agricultural celebration because when it comes to slowing down global climate change, we’ve all got to do our part,” Robb stated. “With roughly 40,000 attendees each year, the parade and festival offer an unparalleled opportunity to help people embrace the lifestyle changes needed to preserve the environment for future generations."

And of course, there are cows in Leis! Enjoy the pictures…
