bedsitter23Every year this time, I talk about the butter sculpture at the Iowa State Fair. Perhaps after 100-plus years, the Butter Cow is passe.
Behold! The Chocolate Moose.
Chocolate moose? Get it?
Hey-Oh!
Oddly, I missed the Moose when I visited the Fair, which gives a bit of the breadth of the Iowa State Fair (and also that a little Fair goes a long ways). The Moose was the work of Chocolaterie Stam and 4000 bars made up the 850 pound moose.
On a side note, i did not miss the latest ice cream technology. Ames's Liquid Nitrogen flash frozen ice cream Nitro Magic which was fantastic.
Also, speaking of Moose, now seems like the right time to post this from my Utah trip. While I was in the Wasatch Mountain Range, I was on the lookout for moose. I didn't see any, so I had to settle for this sign.
I am told there are Moose in this area (and the very rare Mountain Goat and very rare Bear), but only saw deer.
I am also told that if you are looking for a moose, they are harder to find than you think. I was told to look for black spots against the green countryside.
No moose though. Maybe next time.
