There are traditions and then there is the Iowa State Fair’s Butter Cow.

We discuss her companion creation - The Music Man - and some other great insight of her work which has included her family in many capacities. Pratt gives her regards to Broadway and how a quick trip changed much of the display at this year's state fair.
