Event Details
Save your spot to join Sarah Pratt, the Iowa State Fair's butter sculptor, for a special family program at the museum on Saturday, December 27. During the program, hear from Sarah what it's like to sculpt the butter cow each year, and then each participant will try their hands at creating their very own butter sculpture using a provided stick of butter. This is a fun (and a little messy) hands-on activity.
This program is also offered at 1:30 p.m.
