* Press release…
The ever-popular butter cow will be unveiled Wednesday, August 9 at 11:00 a.m. in the Dairy Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
Illinois Agriculture Director Raymond Poe, State Fair Manager Kevin Gordon, Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Claudia VanOpdorp and Dairy Building superintendent Marla Behrends are scheduled to attend the ceremony. Dairy refreshments will be served.
“The Butter Cow is one of the most photographed and most visited attractions of the Illinois State Fair,” said Illinois Ag Director Raymond Poe. “For more than 90-years, fairgoers have looked forward to this buttery bovine creation. We are extremely proud of our partnership with the Midwest Dairy Association, which allows us to keep this long-standing tradition alive at the Illinois State Fair, and we cannot wait to see what they have in store for this year’s sculpture.”
The Illinois State Fair is planned for August 10 – August 20 in Springfield, Illinois. Start planning your visit today by visiting our website (www.IllinoisStateFair.info) and download our free mobile app.
* The Question: Your prediction for how the Best Team in America™ will mess this up? Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.

Comment by Casual observer Tuesday, Aug 8, 17 @ 1:46 pm
Citing the fact that the 2017 Butter Cow sculpture was made by a Chicago resident, Rauner will use his executive powers to reject the cow, calling for a better sculpture made from real Illinois.
After the cow is returned, the BTIA will discover that they cannot get a new butter cow on short notice, therefore the 90 year streak of state fair butter cows will end.
The BTIA will loudly proclaim this as a win for the Governor.

BTIA tells media the butter cow is a real cow. Then spends rest of fair having IPI dispute the real facts on Twitter, and has Dept of Revenue prove the cow paid taxes in 2016 so it must be real. Meanwhile, butter cow display windows are password protected due to a glitch in the Sharepoint servers run by DoIT. After fair butter cow is moved to undisclosed warehouse for its own protection. When asked questions regarding fiasco, Rauner replies with one word — Fair. Media assumes he was talking about state fair and not a fair question.

Scene 1: Gov. Rauner announces that he is pardoning the butter cow, prompting Rick Pearson to ask him if he is aware that it is butter shaped as a cow, and not an actual breathing cow.
Scene 2: The D candidates for governor race to get their mocking press releases posted as the UPDATED X1 in Cap Fax. Biss throws in a shot at Madigan, while Kennedy proposes to overhaul completely how all cows, living and butter, are funded.
Scene 3: BTIA insists the governor wasn’t wrong. This year, it was supposed to be a real cow, but that Mendoza screwed up by not transferring funds to pay for the cow. And Cullerton, at Madigan’s behest, cancelled the cow meeting.
