Cows trigger visitor invasion

Written by 

More visitors are flocking to Morrinsville and the cows are responsible.

The Morrinsville i-SITE has seen an increase in tourists this holiday period thanks to the Herd of Cows? street art project, commerce.

A huge number of people are bringing their families here to look at the cows, according to Morrinsville Chamber of Commerce.

A total of 42 of the colourful, life-sized cows are dotted around Morrinsville town centre. But the mother of all cows may be coming.

A 6.5m tall 'mega cow' is planned for the street art project.
