WEST DES MOINES — It's the King of Pop — in butter.
Iowa State Fair organizers announced Tuesday that they will have a statue of Michael Jackson made of butter. The sculpture will be on display along with the annual butter cow, a popular attraction at the event.
Both will be in a 40-degree cooler throughout the fair from Aug. 13 to 23 in Des Moines.
Fair organizers say the butter sculpture is a tribute to the pop icon who died at the age of 50.
Jackson performed at the fair twice with the Jackson Five in 1971.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

They need to use Imperial - feel like a King, because of his looks, you can't fool mother nature, can't use parkay, either way they will have to "beat it" first.
