Conshohocken Artisans to Unveil Butter Sculpture Work

A 1,000-pound 2026 Pennsylvania Farm Show butter sculpture will be unveiled on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, at 1 p.m.

Attendees for the unveiling are expected to include Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, Milky Way Farm's Carolyn Matthews Eaglehouse, and butter sculptors Jim Victor and Marie Pelton from Conshohocken.

The sculpture is carved from butter donated by the Land O'Lakes plant in Carlisle. Following the Farm Show, the butter is typically recycled into biofuel.
