紐約州博覽會場地的第56屆黃油雕塑的施工正在進行中。
SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 800 pounds of butter has arrived at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, N.Y., as construction of one of Central New York's best-kept secrets and most beloved attractions gets underway – the 56th Annual American Dairy Association North East Butter Sculpture, sponsored by Wegmans.
紐約州錫拉丘茲市，2024年8月12日 /美國商業資訊/ - 隨着中央紐約地區最受歡迎但並不爲人所知的盛事——由Wegmans贊助的第56屆美國東北地區乳製品協會黃油雕塑的製作正在進行中，逾800磅的黃油已抵達紐約州博覽會場地。
Over the weekend, sculptors Jim Victor and Marie Pelton unloaded their tools and began creating the annual sculpture, a process that will take approximately 11 days onsite to complete.
在週末，雕塑家吉姆·維克托和瑪麗·佩爾頓卸下了他們的工具，開始創建這件年度雕塑，這個過程需要在現場進行約11天才能完成。
"Every year, the iconic butter sculpture puts the spotlight on our state's dairy industry," says John Chrisman, CEO American Dairy Association North East. "This amazing attraction pays tribute to the dairy farmers of New York who work hard every single day to sustainably and responsibly produce nutrient-rich milk."
美國東北地區乳製品協會的首席執行官約翰·克利斯曼說:"每年，標誌性的黃油雕塑將關注點放在我們州的乳製品工業上。這個神奇的景觀向紐約州的乳製品農民致敬，他們每天都在努力生產可持續和負責任的富含營養的牛奶。"
The butter used for the sculpture comes from O-AT-KA Mik Products in Batavia, N.Y., and is out of specification for retail sale for a variety of reasons, so American Dairy Association North East works with the sculptors to put it to good use by creating a beautiful piece of art.
雕塑所使用的黃油來自於紐約州巴夏維亞的O-At-KA Mik產品公司，由於各種原因不能滿足零售銷售的標準，所以美國東北地區乳製品協會與雕塑家合作利用它來創建一件美麗的藝術品。
Following its 13-day stint at The Fair, the butter will return to Western New York where it will be recycled into renewable energy at Noblehurst Farms, a dairy farm in Pavilion, N.Y. Noblehurst Farm's vast recycling program turns over 500 tons of food waste from supermarkets, universities and schools each month into enough energy to power the farm and over 300 local homes. The recycling program not only reduces the farm's carbon footprint, it diverts all of that food waste from landfills, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
在博覽會結束後的13天內，黃油將返回紐約州西部，由Pavilion的Noblehurst農場回收再利用成可再生能源。Noblehurst農場龐大的回收項目每月可以處理來自超市、大學和學校的超過500噸的食品廢料，並生成足以爲農場和當地300戶以上居民提供能源的能量。這個回收項目不僅減少了該農場的碳排放量，還避免了將所有的食物廢料送入垃圾填埋場帶來的溫室氣體排放。
American Dairy Association North East will unveil the 56th Annual Butter Sculpture to the media and live on their Facebook page on Tuesday, August 20th, the day before The Fair officially opens. It will then be on display in the Dairy Products Building for the duration of The Fair.
美國東北地區乳製品協會將於8月20日星期二向媒體和Facebook頁面展示第56屆黃油雕塑，正式開幕前的一天。之後，它將在乳製品大樓展出，直至博覽會結束。
