The Blue Cow has appeared on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and A & E's City Confidential. Imagine has been on the radio and in news-papers around the country. The "Blue Cow" was purchased by Imagine at the Houston Cow Parade in 2001. Cow Parade is the largest public art exhibit in the world. The first parade in Chicago, in 1998, raised millions of dollars for charity. Since that time, there have been cow parades in New York, Atlanta, Kansas City, Houston, London, Tokyo, Brussels and other cities around the globe. Thousands of people supported Imagine when the town of Barrington filed a lawsuit demanding the removal of the "Blue Cow". The "Blue Cow" is prominently displayed in its new home in Warren, Rhode Island. Also on display at Imagine is "The Divas" from the Las Vegas Parade and "Cowboy" from the Houston Cow Parade. Steve Kass, talk show host: "Imagine is the most unusual gift store you will ever visit".Providence Journal: "A sure sign of a fun store." We are just a short ride from Newport or Providence. Why not come and spend the day with us at Imagine?! |
