Christensen’s work is a main draw to the State Fair, too. The booth that she and the contestants are in during the crafting process is covered with glass and is located on the fairgrounds. Visitors can watch the artist in action every day of the State Fair, as a different contestant is sculpted each day.
After half a century of butter, though, Christensen is now retiring, and the 2021 State Fair was her last. Don’t worry, though, as she has been training a protege who will now take over the Princess Kay butter sculpture duties.
What happens to the sculptures after the fair? Contestants get to keep them if they want, but seeing as the sculptures melt if not kept in the right conditions, a lot of them end up being used for, well, butter purposes. Even if they don’t end up in a refrigerated museum, at least the butter heads get their moment in the cold spotlight of the Minnesota State Fair.
