A 1,000 pound diorama depicting a connection between rural and urban Pennsylvanians gathering around a table to share a locally grown meal was revealed yesterday in Harrisburg in a public display. The catch is that the thousand-pound diorama was sculpted entirely out of butter, carved by Jim Victor and Marie Pelton of Conshohocken in lieu of the upcoming Pennsylvania Farm Show.

There to help unveil the butter sculpture was Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, who thanked everyone in PA’s dairy farms and farms across the commonwealth for their continued hard work.

The sculpture, which is co-sponsored by American Dairy Association North East and the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program, will be displayed at the Expo Center in Harrisburg during the Farm Show starting tomorrow until January 13.
