That&#8217;s a day before the Fair officially opens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The American Dairy Association North East shared some butter trivia, like how the 800 pounds of butter could cover 76,800 pancakes.<\/p>\n<p>And that it takes 1,972 gallons of milk to make that much butter.<\/p>\n<p>After the Fair, according to the dairy association, the butter sculpture will be taken apart and sent to Noblehurst Farms in Livingston County. There, it will be recycled in a methane digester that turns manure and food waste into energy, enough to power a home for three days.<\/p>\n<p>The Great New York State Fair is scheduled for\u00a0Aug. 26 through Sept. 7.<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wktv.com\/news\/entertainment\/2026-great-new-york-state-fair-special-days-lineup\/article_2a48f8fe-0849-4ede-8d01-b5b8ef368864.html\" class=\"tnt-asset-link\" aria-label=\"2026 Great New York State Fair Special Days Lineup\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe\/WZNAAAAEElEQVR42mM8U88ABowYDABAxQPltt5zqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" alt=\"2026 Great New York State Fair Special Days Lineup\" class=\"img-responsive lazyload full blur\" width=\"1715\" height=\"1208\" data- data-\/><br \/>\n                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>             <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/64f3efb24272b.image.jpg\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"141\" width=\"200\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tnt-summary\">The Great New York State Fair will spotlight the State\u2019s diverse cultures, industries and traditions with a lineup of Special Days during its run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Provided Photos SYRACUSE, N.Y. &#8212; The Great New York State Fair is gearing up for one of its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[157,610,9,11,10,49,51,50,27],"class_list":["post-323266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-entertainment","tag-local","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
