We took our kids to see Kadie 30 years ago and its just as great today as it was then. Great memories to make w/ your kids or grandkids.
This explains alot about columbus ga.. the mascot is a male cow with udders. This is either purposefully done as a joke or people are just not noticing this error.
Many years ago Kinnett Dairies was where BestBuy is now. As a dairy they had a large cow statue as their mascot. When the land was sold to BestBuy, Kadie (KD-for Kinnett Dairies,) agreed to let Kadie stay in her original location. For a while there was a smaller cow statue, from the Kinnett Dairies downtown offices, set up there too. She was named BB, for BestBuy. She was damaged from people sitting on her to the point she had to be moved. Kadie is a favorite among all the Columbus children.
Oddly enough, this giant cow is in the Best Buy parking lot. If you happen to need some electronics, take a picture with this giant cow.
Its something unusual to see. But once you see it. Its nothing special but a cow with horns. I did not know what the cow was called until now. Not worth a visit unless your going to Best Buy.
I remember Katie (you misspelled it, not me!) the cow from the time I was very young. I attended Gentian Road Elementary School for a short time in 2nd grade, the Kinnett Dairy was where our milk came from. Katie is still a landmark for me; she brings back fond memories. I was glad they didn't remove her when the dairy closed.
Before Best Buy, there was a dairy here. Kinnett Dairy - thus, "KD" or "Kadie", the cow. I toured it on a school field trip years ago. When the dairy went out of business, Columbus-ians fought to keep the beloved mascot, and her baby that once stood below her, in place. The baby cow was stolen a few years ago. But Kadie remains - a Columbus landmark. :)
I don't really understand why it's right next to best buy. I wish someone would move it to a more scenic location, such as outside the Columbus Museum.Anyway, if you are in the area, be sure to stop and take a family photo posing with the cow.
*words cannot express*Speechless. No really. I feel like it would be an injustice if I gave a speech right now.
We stopped here to look for a geocache. How can you not love a giant cow!! We never knew this was here! Awesome!!
