bedsitter23So each year I post about the Butter Sculpture at the Iowa State Fair.
It's sort of been a who's who of culture and history - Butter Elvis, Star Trek, the Last Supper, Tiger Woods, the moon landing, Snow White, Dr Seuss, John Wayne, Superman and many others.
I didn't see much of anything written about ths year's Butter Sculpture. Perhaps in the Facebook/Reddit age, things truly have to be bizzare to go viral.
In any case, while it's good to see a salute to literature, Butter Laura Ingalls Wilder doesn't have the same buzz as Butter Spock.
I looked up Wilder, and my initial thought was the Dakotas. Indeed, you can travel her home and museum in South Dakota.
Wilder did live in Iowa, though not on the Western side, as you might expect, but on the East. She was born in Wisconsin and she taught on the other side f the Iowa/Wisconsin border. She also spent a large amount of her life in Missouri, which could stake a claim to her, and as far as I can tell- Kansas, Minnesota, and New York too.
In any case, not a year passes that i don't post something about the butter sculpture, so mark this one in the books.
