A “moving” memory for many at the Illinois State Fair is a trip to see the butter cow. And this year it’s a little more special as the sculpted bovine turns 100. Kelsey Kessler the Illinois State Fair Queen helped unveil the hundreds of pounds of salted Illinois butter that Sarah Pratt’s crafted into a work of art.
The butter cow contains 13 hidden hearts and is on display every day inside the Dairy Building at the Illinois State Fair.
