Ohio State Fair butter sculptures are legen-dairy

Today the unveiling of the Ohio State Fair butter display made history. For the first time every, cocoa butter was used to color a sculpture.

This is a nod at the Ohio High School Athletic Association as their official beverage is chocolate milk.

The display includes the old standby cow + calf next to a 6′ bottle of chocolate milk and four student athletes playing tennis, soccer, softball, and football.

Two thousand pounds of butter were used to craft the margarine masterpiece taking the sculptors–Paul Brooke and Alex Balz of Cincinnati, Tammy Buerk of West Chester, Erin Swearingen of Columbus, and Matt Davidson, a dairy farmer from Sidney–500 hours to complete. Just think of all the baking posibilities with that much butter..

Check out the butter beauty at the Ohio State Fair from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from July 26th to August 6th.
