“Milk, Love What’s Real” was the 2019 New York State Fair butter sculpture at the fairgrounds. (Michael Greenlar)File photos
The New York State Fair butter sculpture is a weird and wonderful tradition that began in 1969, and has continued every year since. (Even the covid year! The butter people wore masks.)
This isn’t a review of the best or worst sculptures in NYS Fair history. We’re no art critics. But every year before the annual butter sculpture is revealed, we talk about the same ones over and over. We remember the biggest ones, the strangest ones, the most elaborate, and the ones invoking pop culture.
