ADADC Promotion Creates Forum
SYRACUSE, N.Y. When
the American Dairy Association
and Dairy Council Inc. (ADADC)
recently sponsored New York Run
For ’92, various county promotion
groups, along with dairy princes
ses, came out in full force to do
their part.
Throughout November, local
county promotion groups, dairy
princesses and ADADC delivered
the “Milk, America’s Health
Kick” message at the torch run
sites. Ceremonies took place in
Buffalo, Rochester, Geneseo,
Watertown, Syracuse, Bingham
ton, Utica, Albany, Schenectady,
Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.
During several of the ceremo
nies, dairy princesses had the
opportunity to speak on behalf of
New York state’s dairy farmers.
Attendees were able to sample
some of New York state’s finest
dairy products donated by local
manufacturers. Among the pro
ducts sampled were milk, cheese,
yogurt, and of course, ice cream.
As part of their participation,
promotion group members and
some dairy princesses wore the
“Magic Cow” costume and ran
with the Olympic torch at the
sues. “I Love Milk” stickers and
dairy recipe leaflets were also
handed out. Olympic athletes,
along with elected officials and
business leaders, also participated
in the ceremonies.
The torch runs were conducted
in order to raise funds for Olympic
r athletes training for the 1992 wint
er Olympics in Albertville,
‘France. Money raised was
I donated directly to the United
* States Olympic Committee.
