Dozens of people gathered Thursday to witness the unveiling of a carefully sculpted half-ton of butter that precedes the opening of the Pennsylvania Farm Show.
The life-size butter sculpture depicts a dairy cow and farm family members showing off baby chicks and apple pies.
The state Agriculture Department estimates more than 500,000 people will attend this year’s show, which is held at the Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg. Admission is free but parking is $15.
