Further, the State Fair has a Dairy Building where you can get unlimited milk (to go with your Sweet Martha's cookies), and see real butter carvers sculpt life sized busts of Princess Kay of the Milky Way in a rotating glass refrigerator.

While looking for this video I saw all the sculptures and holy crap they are amazing! The last time I was at the MSF, I was a little guy, maybe 6-7 so I don't remember much lol. I hope someday to get back there.
They still have The Old Mill ride and Tom Thumb donuts made fresh. You can skip the Pronto Pups, though. Strictly inferior to corn dogs. .
I loved the ribbing Hope about Turkey lmao.
Hope:
"Turkey's meat"

"Not in Minnesota, turkey's special."
I used to think butter carving was super wasteful, decadent nonsense.
But the butter they use is (or was.. it may not be anymore..) spoilt or otherwise inedible. Basically industry byproduct.
It does still really suck for the cows, their hard biological life reduced to spoiled statues, often of cows... but at least it’s not being completely wasted.. I guess..
