CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The cows come home this summer on the Mag Mile.
Inspired by local businessman Peter Hanig, the public art campaign spurred similar displays in Chicago and across the nation.
Hanig says he got the idea when he saw a similar display while on a trip to Switzerland. He noted that the painted statues inspired a lot of joy.
When the cows were taken off display in Chicago, some were auctioned off, raising millions for Chicago charities.
