The world famous Iowa State Fair butter cow will share the spotlight this year with a salute to the late Michael Jackson. Both pieces will be on display in the Agriculture Building’s 40-degree cooler throughout the fair, August 13 to 23.
Fair officials announced on Tuesday that Butter sculptor Sarah Pratt of West Des Moines plans to honor Jackson’s extensive contributions to the music and dance industries through a butter sculpture of the pop icon. This year’s butter bovine will be a Jersey.
Jackson appeared with his brothers as the Jackson Five at the 1971, Iowa State Fair.
