Celebrating the Olympics at the Iowa State Fair

The Brownfield Ag News team has been making the rounds in recent days, covering state fairs in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Iowa.  We've been impressed by butter and cheese sculptures at several of these fairs.  Our Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based team member shares this:

I guess most of our states have butter cows at the State Fair. But, at they took it a step further at Iowa this year and carved a likeness of West Des Moines Olympian Shawn Johnson. It really attracted a lot of interest, complete with her balance beam and the U.S. flag in butter. Thought you might find it interesting.
