Butter Cow

The Butter Cow has been an unofficial icon of the fair since the 1920's. 500 pounds of unsalted butter are used to sculpt the life size figure by hand. The process takes about two days.

Dinosaurs are taking over Happy Hollow this year.  The exhibition is created by Dino Don, Inc., the worlds' leading supplier of robotic dinosaurs to zoos and museums worldwide – and the only maker of full-sized dinosaurs. The hand-made animatronics are uniquely created under direct scientific supervision.
