COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A mixed martial arts competition, diving show and snake show are some of the things that are new for the 157th Ohio State Fair.
The fair opening Wednesday in Columbus also features the usual rides, concerts, fried foods and butter sculptures.
This year, the traditional butter cow and calf are joined by a giant football and the likenesses of Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns and Chinedum Ndukwe of the Cincinnati Bengals, also made of butter.
The display promotes a new school wellness program sponsored by the NFL and the National Dairy Council.
The fair's opening day schedule includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Gov. Ted Strickland and the dedication of the fairgrounds Coliseum in honor of former Gov. Bob Taft.
