Conrad the raccoon became an internet sensation back in July when a dead raccoon was found on the side of the road in Toronto and the city created a memorial for him.

Every year, the CNE invites local artists to create butter sculptures in a refrigerated, glass-enclosed space as visitors watch. Former Toronto mayor Rob Ford and Yoda were among the fan favourites of years past.

This year - it's Conrads turn. "A fitting tribute to a wonderful trash panda ... this gives me closure," wrote someone on the Toronto Reddit page.
