Butter Sculpture Promotes ‘Tackle Your Thirst With Milk’
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
The fourth annual butter sculp
ture at the Pennsylvania Farm
Show featured two football play
ers, one from Penn State Universi
ty and the other from the Universi
ty of Tennessee. The sculpture fol
lows the theme “Tackle Your
Thirst With Milk.”
At the first official function of
the 78th Pennsylvania Farm
Show. Boyd Wolff, PA Secretary
of Agriculture said, “This sculp
ture is a creative way to call atten
tion to Pennsylvania’s great dairy
industry. I have to commend the
dairy farmers because they had the
foresight to know that Penn State
was going to win the Florida Cit
rus Bowl.”
The sculpture was created by
Raymond Mackintosh and spon
sored by Pennsylvania’s Dairy
Promotion Partners the Ameri
can Dairy Association and Dairy
Council, Mid East UDIA/F.O. 36
Advertising Agency, and the Pen
nsylvania Dairy Promotion
Program.
‘This year Pennsylvania’s Dairy Promo
tion Partners offer a tribute to football,” said
Betsy Dupuis, communications director with
the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program.
“Penn State wide receiver Bobby Engram is
being tackled by an unidentified Tennessee
player. Engram was the game’s most valu
able player and a big part of the Nittany
Lion’s win.”
“We selected football because of Pennsyl
vania’s rich tradition in football. We have
nationally ranked high school and college
football programs. And, the first professional
football game was played in 1892, in Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, so we’re just a year
behind in our anniversary celebration,”
added Dupuis.
Mackintosh, from Ontario, Canada, used
approximately 760 pounds of butter in the
sculpture. He spent an average of 10 hours
per day working on the sculpture for a total of
four days.
“Butter sculpting takes special experi
ence,” Mackintosh said in an earlier inter
view. “You need to know the material, what
it will and will not do. Butter is different from
other mediums and must be carefully sup
ported. During the sculpting process, I must
use a special wooden paddle and wire tools to
create the features.

“This sculpture was very chal
lenging. It was difficult to design
due to the size of the cabinet I
know that in this case the figures
had to be on the ground and that
one would have to be poised on
top of the other. The creation of
the metal framework was critical
for the structure,” added
Mackintosh.
Butter for the sculpture was
donated by Eastern Milk Produc
ers. It came, from the Atlantic
Dairy Cooperative’s Holly Milk
Plant, in Carlisle. Eastern’s 1,200
Pennsylvania members provide
milk for this plant which produces
butter and dry powder dairy
products.
