Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley Thursday unveiled the PA Farm Show butter sculpture made from nearly 1,000 pounds of butter. The sculpture is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and the PA Dairy Promotion Program.
The butter was donated by Land O' Lakes in Carlisle and sculpted by by Jim Victor of Conshohocken, Montgomery County, who also creates sculptures using chocolate and cheese.
The sculpture depicts a young 4-H member showing his prized calf at a county fair pays tribute to the 100th anniversaries of the Pennsylvania 4-H and PA State Association of County Fairs.
At the close of the eight-day show, the butter will be given to a Juniata County dairy farm. The butter will be put through a digester that will convert it to 65 kilowatt hours of electricity to operate the farm. NewsClips: Today's Butter Is Tomorrow's Energy
