Butter Michael or Not

OK...some of you may know that Iowa State Fair is famous for the Butter Cow. It has been a long standing tradition for I don't know how many years...you can read more about it here. This year, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, they are doing a butter sculpture of him as well. Then, there was the sudden passing of the King of Pop (Michael Jackson), and they decided to immortalize him in butter too. Well...someone got mad and raised a stink about it. The state fair has now put it up to a vote - to butter Michael or not.

I'm not really a Michael Jackson fan, but Doug was SUPER excited when he first heard they would make the sculpture of Michael Jackson. Now, he is upset at the possibility that there may not be one. So...get to the point Rajean...if you would like to vote simply click here - http://www.iowastatefair.org/entertainment/butter-vote.php. This will lead you to the Iowa State Fair page where you would have to enter your vote, your email address, and zip code. I have already submitted my vote and haven't received anything from the fair website (if you are concerned about spam mail).

Thanks for your help...and hopefully, I'll be able to post a picture later this summer of the Butter Michael Jackson!

Here is my post from last year with a picture of the butter cow...http://drbergman.blogspot.com/2008/08/iowa-state-fair-day-2.html

Until next time...
