One of the highlights of the Illinois State Fair is, of course, the Butter Cow:

Yep, sculpted from 800 pounds of butter, it's a cow... and a friend. Sculpted by artist Sarah (Doyle) Pratt of West Des Moines, Iowa, for the 8th year, from recycled and unsalted butter, which is then slathered over a frame of wire and wood. The cow and its guest rotate inside a refrigerated display case over the course of the fair. The Butter Cow has been part of the Illinois State Fair since 1922.
