It's a Polish tradition. We have a HUGE Polish population in Western NY.
I know that one is from the Broadway Market because it has a red sash and a Alleluia banner. Other ones have a white sash.
I live with a Polish person and Easter is a big deal. They make tons of homemade sausage and pierogies and other food. It all goes to church to be blessed by the priest. Even all the chocolate. I am going to be 10lbs heavier by the end of Dyngus Day. I'm all ready for Dyngus Day with my pussy willows, but I've been told the guys have super soakers so I don't think I'll win that one.

The Broadway Market is wonderful before Easter.

i should have gone to the Broadway market... our Wegmans sold out of them.

it's lovely how Easter is so nice up here.

egads. i never realized that 1) butter was a popular material for scuplture and 2) people liked working with it. part of me wants to applaud, the other part, vomit

well, here is how wrong i was

JustErin said:

i'd totally settle for that.

i have a suggestion for my local grocery store.

next year, on Good Friday, why not take single sticks of butter and relabel them "procrastilambs"...

for those of us who didn't buy their butter lambs before they sold out.

happy easter everybody!

It's almost worth going through our winters to get Easter.
It is a lovely holiday here.

I went to the Broadway market this morning for a few last things. You could hardly walk for all the people.
I think I saw butter lambs at Tops the other day.

i'd totally take stax over butter

They have a huge butter sculpture every year at the NY State Fair in Syracuse.
They've been doing it for 40 years. Last year it was a 900lb sculpture of the cow jumping over the moon.

XxAxX said:

the org needs a butter sculpture photowhoring thread!

here we go!

XxAxX said:

I think you will find that is Billy Connelly not Jesus, it has no place on an easter thread

here we go! THIS is more like!!!!!
at first i wanted to create something ginormous, something massively significant that would make everyone in here stand up and take notice, something that would leave my mark on the world. i wanted to make a butter sculpture to end all butter sculptures, and launch myself in one smooth master stroke into the ranks of the butter sculpture professionals. make them positively DROOL with envy at my style, sheer novice talent and dedication to this worthy cause. but THEN i re-thought my approach, i realized that sometimes simplicity is the best way to go, and that the understated can pack just as potent a wallop as the flamboyant. sometimes it's the whisper that we hear best, instead of the shout. sometimes when we speak softly, and carry a big stick of butter, we draw more attention to ourselves than we do if we scream and dance around, waving the butter overhead wrapped in an american flag, or any other flag for that matter. so i thought and i thought and i sketched and i drew and i molded and i shaped and by golly i think it came out pretty dang cool! just take a look at this, my friends:




oh. crap, it melted while i was typing.
