I hope I don't lose my job to do it next year, if they really do close the fair. There are pictures of how the cow was made on Facebook. Search Michigan Butter Cow. Mary, I'd love for you to take pictures next year if it happens.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410610143025515929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987154466637348441.post-44772903240024870302009-09-01T23:31:47.614-04:002009-09-01T23:31:47.614-04:00Real plastic, huh?
