You know what they say...cows can show up in the craziest places!
That's what North Market shoppers learned yesterday as we kicked off our "Cowman on the Mooooove" summer event.
For the next few weeks, Ohio's most beloved bovine will be moooooving all over to see some of the best sites in central Ohio.
If you see him, don't be sheepish! Cowman loves taking pictures with Fair-lovers --just take a look at the pictures below from his trip to North Market yesterday!
Feel like cow tipping? Well, you can send us your tips of where you found Cowman by tweeting #cowmanosf to @OhioStateFair.
The best part: by tweeting, you'll automatically be entered into a drawing to win a Family Four Pack to the 2011 Ohio State Fair!
So, get out there and milk this opportunity for all it's worth, while enjoying some of the best places in central Ohio!
