Milk helps build healthy bodies and strong teeth.” It was a gala evening for the local contest, and even a severe thundershower left the area in time for the patio reception, as planned. The rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of the 325 dairy supporters who attended the banquest and contest. All contestants teamed up for a milk promotion before the dinner, when they carried in ice cold pitchers of milk for the banquet tables, and sang along with Jane Ayers in a specially written rendition of the promotion song, “Milk is a Natural.” Everyone enjoyed seeing the contestants doing the “natural” thing for anyone interested in being a dairy princess.
