When I was a kid I went with my parents to the Royal (Agricultural) Winter Fair in Toronto.
They had butter-carved astronauts to commemorate the moon landing.
It was still amazing.
I haven't gone in about 10 years but really should this year.

Edit:
I actually just emailed them to see if they have a yearly photographic archive.
And it seems that Butter Astronauts are more common than I thought.
