Indiana Dairy Unveils the Big Cheese

When it comes to artistic carving and sculpting at the Indiana State Fair there is no doubt who is considered the big cheese. It’s the Cheese Lady, Sarah Kaufmann, creator of her third giant cheese sculpture masterpiece. The sculpture is commissioned by the American Dairy Association of Indiana and Monday a large crowd witnessed the 2nd unveiling of the new State Fair covered bridge. This one though, is 2,000 pounds of cheese. “When I did the bridge, I was carving the bridge, making the windows,” Sarah told us. “People were intrigued. But when I started doing the Gouda cows that went in the windows, people stopped, they sat down and watched me carve the cows. And then when I started doing the dairy figures everybody was quiet watching me do the faces. That’s where the spirit is, in those characters.”

Sarah started the sculpture last Wednesday, opening day of the fair. During the process she incorporated various ideas she would hear from onlookers, but started by determining how to incorporate dairy into a covered bridge theme. She said, “So that’s where I have the three dancing dairy figures coming across the bridge. But it lets the bridge be a focus but diary is a message.”
