Butter Sculptures Take Center Stage at State Fairs
TL;DR Summary
The beloved butter cow sculpture at the Iowa State Fair is actually a wire mesh structure covered in slabs of butter, rather than being entirely made of butter. This revelation, which was mistakenly attributed to the Iowa State Fair instead of the Illinois State Fair, has left Midwesterners shocked and even angry. The butter used for the sculpture is recycled and can be reused for up to 10 years.
