The Dispatch:
This year’s Ohio State Fair butter sculpture is a giant birthday cake to honor the Columbus
bicentennial.
Also in the mood is the traditional butter cow, this year wearing a party hat.
The cake is 5 feet by 6 feet and took 2,400 sticks of butter to make, according to fair
officials.
The total display – cake, cow and calf – required 1,900 pounds of butter and 451 hours of
labor.
The sculptures were created in the cooler of the fairgrounds’ Dairy Building for an expected
half-a-million visitors to see, starting when the fair opens on Wednesday.
After the fair ends on Aug. 5, the sculptures will be melted down, and the butter will be
used to power utility vehicles at Mount Vernon Nazarene University.
Hey, I managed to get this story in just before the state fair ends. Butter sculptures rock.
