Butter Sculpture Unveiled at Farm Show

A sculpture made from nearly 1,000 pounds of butter has been unveiled at the 95th Pennsylvania Farm Show, which officially opens Saturday, Jan. 8.

The design depicts a dairy farmer providing milk to children playing on a jungle gym and tossing a ball with a football player.

Sculptor Jim Victor of Conshohocken, Montgomery County, began crafting the life-size design in mid-December and finished just in time for the Farm Show. He also creates sculptures using chocolate and cheese.

The butter will be converted into biofuel after the Farm Show ends.
