Ph. 397-3539 The cow coloring contest and poster contest were organized through the schools so that children would be sure to learn the value of using dairy products. In order to encourage attendance at the festival, the owner of the winning cow or poster had to be present to win the prize. All children who had entered a cow in the coloring contest and who attended the festival Saturday night received a free certificate from .a local merchant - and they were bound to have picked up some inormation on the value of dairy products. Mrs. Sandra Klinger coordinated the contests. A highlight of the festival was a dairy foods contest. There were 18 entries in six categories. Winners and their categories were: cheescake - Pat Arnold, 941 Mt.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 23,1973 Carl Smith presented an award to the grand prize winner and he said the foods contest was a valuable part of the festival because “it showed the many and varied ways to use dairy products.” Judges for the dairy foods contest were Mrs. Jan Cooper, home economist for Hershey Foods Test Kitchen; Mrs. Christopher Sowers, home economics teacher at Lebanon High School; and Mrs Sally Bair, feature writer for LANCASTER FARMING. The dairy festival was a family affair, with something of interest for everyone. Both before and after the contest there was a dairy booth, which gave away milk and did a booming business in ice cream cones and sundaes, charging 10 cents and 25 cents respectively. Portions were very generous, and you could dip your own toppings for your sundae. The committee promoted dairy products all the way, and to help defray expenses of the contest, they sold cheese cleavers, pretty MILK glasses and “Moo-Cow” cream pitchers. For the little tots there were ballons (sometimes even a free “blow-up” for the balloons), and “drink more milk” tops. At a reception for the new Dairy Princess following her selection everyone had the op portunity to sample the dishes entered in the dairy foods con test, as well as enjoy tidbits and dairy dips supplied by the committee. In other presentations, Mrs Irvin Horst, on behalf of the committee, gave outgoing Princess Pat Krall a pewter pitcher in appreciation for her work over the past year, and a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Ray Sattazahan for her work in putting the contest together. The Lebanon County festival committee took the job of promoting milk seriously, and did all they could to let the general public know that June is Dairy Month. A promotion like this each year will soon have all the people of Lebanon County looking forward to the good things that mean Dairy Month is here. The dairy festival committee was: Mrs. Ray Sattazahan, chairman, Mrs Albert Moyer, Mrs Irvin Horst, Mrs Sandy Klinger, Miss Patricia Krall, Kenneth Sellers and Carl Smith. Mrs Alletta Shadier, Lebanon County Extension home economist and Newton J. Bair, assistant County Agent, acted as advisors to the committee.
