Ben, the Butter Sculpture

2007 marks the 91st Pa. Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pa. Opening weekend saw record crowds – the warm weather didn’t keep people away from the fun! “Growing Pennsylvania Agriculture to Feed and Fuel Our Future” is the theme – one that even the now infamous butter sculpture honors. Featuring Ben Franklin and the Liberty Bell, the buttery artwork will be on display until Sunday, January 14th. After that, the 800 pounds of butter (donated by Land O’Lakes), will become part of a research project to turn butter into biodiesel! Philadelphia-based Fry-o-Diesel, operates a pilot plant in north Philadelphia and has developed technology to convert waste greases from restaurants into high quality biodiesel.
