I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!

August 28th, 2008 by Heywood

There aren’t many words for this one: at the Iowa State Fair this month, renowned butter artist Sarah Pratt unveiled a life-size sculpture of 16 year old Olympic gold medalist, Shawn Johnson, seen below. This, along with a Harry Potter scene and the annual display of the “Butter Cow,” round out the butter art. Interesting to note, the butter sculptures were kept at a brisk 40 degrees to prevent any melting. Rumor has it, upon completion of the fair, state officials unveiled the world’s largest baked potato.
