Cow Costume Big Hit at Local Fairs AG WORLD Ag World 13-1-19 If you're looking for a way to promote milk and dairy products at local fairs and exhibitions, you might want to take a close look at "Molly Moo", a cow costume designed by a Grandin, N. Dak., farm wife.
"In the spring of 1985; as a member of our local North Dakota Dairy Women association, I was asked to make a cow costume. I searched many pattern and fabric shops and could not find the type of pattern I needed. So I decided to build my own," says Gloria Porter, who dubbed her creation "Molly Moo".
The design features a soft, lightweight sculptured head with horns, and a two-piece fully adjustable body suit that adapts to nearly any size wearer.
"When we started using it for promotions at fairs, shopping malls, food stores, nursing homes, day care centers and at many other places or events, people started asking me if they could buy a pattern. I had it printed up and continue to have tremendous interest," says Porter.
The pattern is full-size with no enlarging needed and comes complete with fabric recommendations and sewing instructions. Sells for $12.
