The 2020 Pennsylvania Farm Show Butter Sculpture, created by artists Jim Victor and Marie Pelton of Conshohocken, was unveiled last week in Harrisburg, according to a staff report from the Wisconsin State Farmer.

The 30th annual butter sculpture was presented by American Dairy Association North East, in conjunction with Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

It shows Philadelphia Flyers’ Gritty, Philadelphia Eagles’ Swoop, and Pittsburgh Steelers’ Steely McBeam, three of the most popular sports mascots in the state, all carved in 1,000 pounds of butter.

The sculpture follows the “East Meets West at the Pennsylvania Farm Show” theme as it presents mascots from the east and west celebrating. It is a reminder that Pennsylvania dairy products make every day a game day.

It took the artists 14 days to carve the sculpture.

“Every year, the butter sculpture is a best kept secret, which keeps people interested and excited,” said Victor.

“We also enjoy knowing that we are helping to create sculptures that are entertaining, tell a story, and pay tribute to the hard-working dairy farmers,” added Pelton.

The sculpture is on display in the Farm Show’s Main Hall.
