Elsie the Cow is one of the most famous company mascots of all time. She's spent the last several decades promoting Borden Milk and various dairy products. She has traveled the country, been awarded degrees, supported troops in multiple conflicts and even tried acting by appearing the 1940 film "Little Men":
While she's not a native Texan, she used to spend a lot of her time in the Lone Star State and her Facebook page lists Dallas as her current residence. Her and her son Beauregardwould make appearances across the country but they seem to love showing up to Texas events the most, like the annual Children's Parade in downtown Dallas:
Or the annual Candlelight at Old City Park event at the Dallas Heritage Village:
But one of her most popular visits happens every year at the State Fair of Texas. A few years ago we shot some video of her appearance and her story:
You may have noticed that she has quite a set up and an entourage. It takes a lot of effort to prepare for an Elsie appearance as you can see from this video we shot a few years ago at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo:
So be on the lookout the next time you are at an event, if you're lucky, you just might get to meet Elsie yourself.
