When we talk about fiberglass, we’re usually thinking of custom components for power generation. Of course, fiberglass has a bunch of other applications, as well. But here’s one use that we haven’t ever come across: a “CowParade”.
Down in Austin, Texas, there will be a literal “cow parade”, with about 100 colorful critters lining the sidewalks. To make it all happen, a group of local artists all worked together to decorate fiberglass cows.
The CowParade in Austin is expected to be the largest public art even in the world. There are CowParades all over the world. The events actually function as charity events, which have raised more than $25 million for children with cancer and blood disorders.
This is one of the coolest uses of fiberglass we’ve come across. The material is sturdy and light, and apparently makes for great cow canvases. If you’re in the area this summer, be sure to check out Austin’s CowParade!
