Mid-State Fair celebrates 4-H and FFA with art installation
The California Mid-State Fair recently installed “Blue Clover” in downtown San Luis Obispo. It’s part of CowParade SLO County and is located in front of the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum at 1010 Nipomo Street, San Luis Obispo.
Showcasing 101 life-size, 120-pound, fiberglass works of art, CowParade SLO County is the county’s largest public art display with proceeds benefiting local charities. The exhibit runs through April, 2017.
“Blue Clover” celebrates the fair’s annual livestock exhibitions. “Blue Clover” represents the coveted blue ribbon and embodies the symbols of the FFA (National Blue and Corn Gold) and 4-H (Green Clover).
“Blue Clover” was painted by Carla Cary, a third year student at Cal Poly majoring in business administration with a concentration in marketing. Cary works as a wedding planner and is a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority at Cal Poly. When she was younger, Cary participated as a 4-H exhibitor at the California Mid-State Fair.
