FAIRGROUNDS WITH A LOOK. WELL, WELL, JAMES, EVERY YEAR THE BUTTER COW IS INSIDE THE AG BUILDING. IT’S BEEN THAT WAY FOR OVER A CENTURY. BUT NEW THIS YEAR, OUT ON THE FRONT LAWN, A NEW TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE BUTTER COWS LONGEST SERVING ARTIST. PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY COME TO THE IOWA STATE FAIR TO SEE THE BUTTER COW. ABOVE THE GAWKERS, A BANNER CELEBRATING PAST BUTTER COW ARTISTS. BUT THIS YEAR, A NEW BRONZE COW OUTSIDE THE AG BUILDING TELLS THE STORY OF A LONGTIME SCULPTOR. WE PUT IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE AG BUILDING WHERE THE BUTTER COW IS HOUSED AND WHERE DUFFY CARVED THERE FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS. A TRIBUTE TO DUFFY LYON. THE BUTTER CALGARY. LATER, FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES. A COW AND HER CALF. I HELPED HER. TWO YEARS DO WORK ON THE BUTTER COW AND WE DID A COUPLE SCULPTURES WITH HER NIECE. AMY PALSSON REMEMBERS ASSEMBLING THE COW IN THE COOLER WITH HER AUNT DUFFY AND MRS. THEIR TIME SPENT TOGETHER AT THE FAIR. I LOVE IT. I, I MISS HER, YOU KNOW? AND IT JUST MAKES IT SO THEY DON’T FORGET HER. THE STATUE, ONE OF THREE IDENTICAL BRONZE PIECES, ONE IN LYONS HOMETOWN OF TOLEDO, THE SECOND IN FRONT OF THE IOWA STATE DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY SCIENCES, THE THIRD HERE AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR WITH A PLAQUE WHERE FAIRGOERS CAN READ ABOUT LYONS LEGACY AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH A MORE PERMANENT PIECE OF HER ARTWORK. I THINK IT’S REALLY GOOD, YOU KNOW. SO I’LL KEEP HER IN THEIR MEMORIES AND STUFF AND OURS. YOU CAN FIND DUFFY’S COW AND CALF JUST RIGHT OUTSIDE THE AG BUILDING. THERE’S A PLAQUE NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK THAT TELLS THE FULL STORY. WE’RE LIVE AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR BEA
