Kick Off to June Dairy Month

To celebrate the begining of June Dairy Month, WHA held a "Kick Off to June Dairy Month" celebration at the Kid's Learning Express Center in Madison.  Though the sun wasn't shining, the kids were smiling as they learned about the dairy industry.  The kids, ages 5 and under, attended five different stations that showed different aspects of the dairy industry.  WHA Princess Attendent Crystal led a station called "A Day in the Life of a Farmer" where children got to view a milk machine, feed, bottles, and see what a typical farm day is like.  WHA Princess Morgan's station allowed the children to get up close and personal with a Holstein cow and two bull calves.  Green County Dairy Queen Taylor read to the children to teach them about dairy while two other Green County Royalty led a station about dairy products, which even had samples of ice-cream, yogurt, and cheese.  The children also got their pictures taken at the photo booth posing like farmers.  It was a picture perfect day.  What a great way to kick off June Dairy Month by spreading the word to children that might not otherwise get the chance to learn about the dairy industry.
