Thanks! It is the National Cattle Congress, in Waterloo, Iowa. I'm not aware of a cow made of butter-I think that's always at the state fair, the cows here aren't neccesarily dairy cows. It's a normal fair with a rodeo and carnival and all that. We also have a county fair, but that apparently is poorly promoted and attended, but I need to enter in that so I can compete in the state fair. I've only been quilting for 3 years (these 2 were my 2nd and 5th quilts I've made), the competition will be pretty heavy at the state fair, but I'm going to give it a shot.
