No visit to the Ohio State Fiar would be complete without a visit to the dairy barn for a dish of ice cream and a gander at the world famous Butter Cow:
Yes, it's sculpted out of butter. So is the calf next to her.
But wait! There's more! Here in Ohio, we are not content to have just a cow and her calf sculpted from buttery goodness, but each year there is another sculpture, the subject of which is always a closely guarded secret until the first day of the fair.
This year, the Ohio State Fair proudly presented:
BUTTER PRESIDENTS!
Yes, a Mount Rushmore style pile of butter, bearing the faces of the nine presidents to have come from the buckeye state! Here they are, in all of their saturated glory!
L to R: Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, Taft, and Harding
Continuing around to Hayes and Garfield
And finally, William Henry Harrison and U.S. Grant.
Who says the fine arts are dead in the midwest?
