    It is so easy to get so wrapped
up in our own activities and forget
about those people who can no
longer lake pari in everyday func
tions. Sometimes we hear of a
friend who is ill, but we neglect to
visit or even send a card. We have
good intentions, but somehow let
other things interfere.

the fact. Then one day I picked a

Dairy Farmers, Pirates
Team To Promote Dairy
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Pennsylvania’s dairy fanners
are continuing their allegiance
with the Pittsburgh Pirates, utiliz
ingithe National League team for
added exposure and increased
awareness of milk and dairy pro
ducts. The Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion Program will be a
sponsor of the team’s radio net
work and Pirate Shortstop Jay Bell
will be an “official” milk
spokesman.
“We enjoy the exposure that the
Pirates bring to our program,”
says Harold Shaulis, Pennsylvania
Dairy Board member from Some
rset. “We have an excellent
spokesman in Jay Bell and our tie
in with the Pirates is a natural
combination.”
Pennsylvania Dairy will be fea
tured in all game broadcasts and
the Pirates will also make special
mentions during June Dairy
Month. For his part, Bell will be
the focus of advertising messages.
His “Bad Dreams” about a day
without milk and several new
themes will be used for the 1994
season.
The tie-in between milk, the
Pirates and baseball is natural,
since so many families attend
baseball games.
Along with the radio network,
Pennsylvania’s roadsides will be
graced by Jay Bell’s milk bill
boards. Dairy fanners message is
simple “Jgy Drinks Milk and It
Shows.” Bell’s recent Gold Glove
and Roberto Clemente Awards
indicate that in his case, drinking
milk has really shown to be
effective.
Pennsylvania Dairy’s sponsor
ship continues throughout the
entire baseball season. The bill
boards will be on display during
the summer months throughout
central Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Dairy Prom
otion Program is supported by
over 4,000 dairy fanners in the
state. Pennsylvania Dairy con
ducts generic dairy product prom
otion programs including adver
tising, nutrition education, and
consumer events.
