Our daughter Sara was a Princess Kay finalist in 2005. |
- The tradition of carving butterheads began in 1965.
- 2013 is artist Linda Christensen's 42nd year of butter carving at the Great Minnesota State Fair.
- The temperature inside the rotating butter booth is 40 degrees.
- It takes 21.8 pounds of whole milk to make a pound of butter.
- A complete butter sculpture takes about six hours to complete. Sara's took nearly 7 hours (darn glasses).
- Midwest Dairy Association helps to sponsor butter sculpting at several state fairs in its 10 states, but sculpting in front of fair-goers using a live model is unique to Minnesota.
And yes, each girl gets to take their butterhead home. |
See you at the Fair!
yeah, Sara! The butter was SO good!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the "Calcium Carnival" when we ate most of her butterhead? And the butter made many yummy Christmas cookies too. But we still see her smiling face every time we open the freezer!
