Dairy Princess

Studio 360 | Mar 1, 2011

Every year the Minnesota State Fair names twelve young women “dairy princesses,” based on their knowledge of the dairy industry and the fact that they live on farms. Each of those princesses gets to step into a big Plexiglass refrigerator, sit in a winter coat on a stool, and have her head sculpted out of 90 pound block of butter. Produced by Steve Nelson.
