"Magnolia Cow " is the most recent incarnation of Cowolina, the "Roving Cow" that has been repainted several times since the original "Cows on Vacation" event. She is the creation of self-taught artist Don Chavis of Bennetsville, SC, where the cow had been pasturing before returning to Beaufort (Lowcountry National Bank borrowed Magnolia Cow for the 2002 Water Festival Grand Parade and for temporary display at its location).
