The King of Pop is to be a butter statue
DES MOINES, Iowa — It’s the King of Pop — in butter.
Iowa State Fair organizers announced Tuesday that they will have a statue of Michael Jackson made of butter. The sculpture will be on display along with the annual butter cow, a popular attraction at the event.
Both will be in a 40-degree cooler throughout the fair from Aug. 13 to 23 in Des Moines.
Fair organizers say the butter sculpture is a tribute to the pop icon who died at the age of 50.
Jackson performed at the fair twice with the Jackson Five in 1971.
