This year, Jim Victor and Marie Pelton have constructed the butter sculpture They both specialize in building sculptures from food.

This in all, took about 20 days to complete. Victor has been working on the yearly butter sculptures since 2003, and in 2008, and Pelton decided to join in.

Katherine Baker, Big Spring Dental office worker, has been going along with her family to the Farm every year.

“I like to get the Maple Syrup as well because it can last me throughout the whole year, and it tastes delicious.” This year, Baker is going to go with her daughter, step-daughter, son, step-son, and her husband, Michael Baker.

“I love going there for the wine tasting,” said Michael Baker. “I’ve been going for about 5 years, and my favorite time to go and buy the maple cotton candy; it’s the only time I can!”
