NOW: Butter sculptures honor Apollo 11’s 50th anniversary

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) -- The Ohio State Fair honored the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Mission with giant sculptures made of butter.

The display was unveiled in Columbus Tuesday.

It includes a life-sized butter sculpture of Ohio native astronaut Neil Armstrong as well as Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

The sculptures used about 2,200 pounds of butter and took artists 500 hours to complete.
