has a big job and an exciting one.
As the Lebanon County Li’l Dairy

cream, cheese, and scratch and
sniff stickers in order to tell others
about the goodness of milk.
Sometimes she rides in parades.
Sometimes she plays Bingo with
those in retirement homes. All
these activities are part of the
duties for wearing the tiara and
banner of the Lebanon County Li’l
Miss. It’s her duty to assist Leba
non County Dairy Princess Angela
Baker with dairy promotional
duties in the county.
It isn’t a hard job. but a fun job,
according to Janelle who lives on a
dairy farm with her parents Jay
Calvin and Thelma, and brothers
Jeff, 14; Jared, 9; and Jason, 4.
She works at home too. And,
those chores are also fun she said.
Her daddy said, “Janelle is a big
helper. She loves to feed the calves
on the farm and help her mother in
the kitchen.”
Janelle especially likes to help
cook. One of her favorite recipes is
making creamy finger Jell-O.
When the Jell-0 is firm, Janelle

Lebanon Dairy Miss Busy With Chores
To become the Lebanon County
Li’l Dairy Miss, Janelle had to
appear in a pageant with other con
testants. They answered questions
before an audience. Janelle made a
poster that described her life on the
farm and the many products that
are made from milk. She recited
this poem that her parents helped
her adapt from another poem.
The Friendly Cow
"The friendly cow all black and
white, I love with all my heart.
She gives me cream with all her
might to eat with apple tart.
The cow is big, her eyes are
round, she makes a very scary
sound... Moo-00.
Tm not afraid, you see, Jesus is
with me.
Tm just six years old and the
cow is three."
“You should drink milk and eat
dairy products because it makes
strong teeth and bones,” Janelle
tells people.
Janelle’s favorite flavor of ice
cream is strawberry.
Janelle is in Kindergarten I,
which she attends weekday morn
ings.
In her sparetime, Janelle enjoys
playing house in her play kitchen
with three stuffed cows named
Candy, Crystal, and Cookie.
Outside, she rides bike, swings,
and climbs of the newspaper stack
with her brothers.
Jason and Jared are eager to devour the Creamy-Flnger Jell-0 that Janelle cuts with
a cow-shaped cookie cutter.
Whether It Is at home or at
promotions, Janelle is eager
to serve dairy products,
“which make strong teeth
and bones,” she said.
