Darth Vader or Yoda never appeared in butter. Too bad, the kids would have recognized it immediately. It is not too late. There is another Star Wars on the table as we speak.

800 lb of Elvis!

At the Ohio state fair in 2011 we checked out the space shuttle instrument panel in butter. It was pretty cool.

While in the dairy barn we also enjoyed ice cream. My son and I had chocolate, but my daughter had strawberry.

The best ice cream at a fair was at the Hillsdale County Fair (motto: The Most Popular Fair On Earth).

You may notice I have not answered the question, but I'm hoping for partial credit.

I would love to see those sculptures! I have no idea on the answer but butter sculptures, ice sculptures, etc. are kind of mermerizing I think. As in how did they do that? ;-) Yes, I have sweet butter in my pantry ... lots of organic sweet butter.
