Butter cow legacy keeps churning

While the general public can't enjoy the Ohio State Fair in person this year, there are plans to keep one of the fair’s “legen-dairy” traditions going.
The American Dairy Association Mideast is encouraging the public to keep the butter cow legacy churning with the return of the do-it-yourself sculpting contest after last year’s success.
Lead sculptor Paul Brooke is offering a step-by-step video instruction to help anyone sculpt their own mini butter cow. You can preview the video here: https://bit.ly/2OMzMB2. The multimedia in the link is available for free and unrestricted use with a courtesy to the American Dairy Association Mideast.
Also available for download are:
-A video documenting the history of the butter cow
-A butter cow fact sheet
-A step-by-step infographic of how to build your own butter cow
-An image of the masterpiece crafted by the 2020 winner of the DIY #BuildYourButterCow Challenge.
To participate in the contest (until August 8), novice sculptors can submit a photo of their butter cow to the American Dairy Association Mideast on Facebook or Instagram, using #BuildYourButterCow, and tagging the American Dairy Association Mideast, with the chance to win a prize that will keep a masterpiece cool all summer long.
