Utica man declines butter sculpture honor at New York State Fair
Eliseo Rossi an 85 year old Utican who bikes to the fair each year refused a butter sculpture honors despite interest from the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council. He cited smoke and the delicate position of being on display. The sculpture was redesigned by William Clements to feature a woman riding a bike with a child, and Rossi remains renowned for arriving early for gate opening and his 55 mile pre fair journey.
