You've conquered Fabric and Threads; next up, let's get a quilter's image to replace the butter cow:) So are you saying there is a picture of a cow in this barn with the quilts?

Stagecl Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Shana, Every year a cow is made totally out of butter, there is a wire frame work and butter packed on it. There usually are a few other figures out of butter too, once there was a cat and a milking stool. I think if you look up the fair you'll be able to see the cow. It is really cool. That was always a stop for our family, but I can't remember which Ag Bldg it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 OK, I see now. So I just googled Iowa State Fair butter cow and got this link: http://www.iowastatefair.org/entertainment/buttercow.php Very interesting story behind it, too! Thanks, Cheryl. First it's snakes, now it's cows made from butter. I wonder what I'll learn about next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
