Help celebrate Butter Days in Millerville

Millerville is proud of its very own butter, created by the Millerville Coop Creamery Association.

So proud, in fact, that an entire celebration has been centered around the creamy, yellow stuff!

Millerville will host Millerville Butter Days the weekend of July 20-22.

A variety of events are planned for all ages, including a bean bag tournament, street dance, pedal tractor pull, children’s games, parade, music, and of course, a butter carving contest!
