ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The rumors are udderly false. Whoever decorates the cows in front of the Maryland Department of Agriculture building in Annapolis can keep doing it.
There was some confusion after snowman costumes were removed from the two concrete bovines in January. The sheets covering them were blowing around and the department received complaints from drivers worried they would fly into oncoming traffic on Harry S. Truman Parkway.
But that didn't mean costuming was off-limits, said agriculture department spokesman Julie Oberg. The creative outfits are meant to be seen and herd.
The cows currently sport sparkly necklaces, possibly for St. Patrick's Day. In the past, the cows have been clad in red, white and blue for Independence Day, sported Santa outfits for Christmas, caps and gowns for graduation day, ribbons and hearts for Valentine's Day, or have even impersonated cicadas.
