Taking their cue from this year’s fair theme (The Art & Nature of Fun, presented by Newfields), Sarah and Nancy created their sculpture as a special tribute to two classic pieces of art – American Gothic and the Mona Lisa – while incorporating a fun dairy twist to the sculpture. Indiana Dairy’s popular mascot Buttercup is also depicted in the sculpture.
The cheese sculpture is on display in the brand new cooler located in the Ag/Hort Building. At the fair’s conclusion, the cheese joins other biological matter from the event destined for a North Central Indiana digester, where it will be churned & turned into “green energy.”
The sculpture is sponsored for the 18th consecutive year by American Dairy Association Indiana, the statewide organization that represents Indiana’s nearly 700 dairy farm families.
