Cheese Sculptures Galore At The New York State Fair

Where: 581 State Fair Blvd. [map], Syracuse, NY, United States, 13209

The New York State Fair's dairy building is turning 100, and organizers are milking it for all it's worth: The fair will feature a cheese carver to make a special display of state pride when it opens Thursday.

Sarah Kaufmann has both a super unique job and daily temptations; the Wisconsin-based (of course!) sculptor works exclusively in cheese, including a 600-pound model of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan and, earlier this summer, a lactose version of Neil Armstrong.

For the New York State Fair, Kaufmann will use New York products to create a horse-drawn milk wagon, a dairy cow and a layered birthday cake along with other dairy-themed imagery. Visit her flavorful display starting Saturday, August 29 at 10am, with a special "Dairy Day" planned for Monday the 31st. Just try not to take a bite.
