Lycoming Mall.

Lycoming County Dairy Princess
Kathryn JarretL
The 19-year-old daughter of
Kendall and Cheryl Peterman of
Muncy, Petferman will enter her
sophomore year at Penn State this
fall, where she is majoring in agri
cultural business management
Selected as alternates were
Roberta (Bobbi) Fogleman and
Danielle Swisher.
Fogleman is the 17-year-old
daughter of the late Ralph and
Ellen Fogelman, of Muncy. In the
fall, she will be a senior at Muncy
High School.
The daughter of Scott and Sue
Swisher, of Unityville, Swisher
will be a senior at Hughesville
High School in the fall.
Peterman was selected after
each contestant had an interview
with the judges, presented a pre
pared presentation and answered
an impromptu question.
Posing as a television show
host, Peterman informed the audi
ence about the benefits of drinking
milk during her presentation.
“Today on healthy cooking,
we’re going to leam about nature’s
most nearly perfect food, and
that’s milk,” said Peterman. “You
may be wondering why I picked
milk to be the topic of today’s
show. It’s because milk is such a
nutrient dense formula. It has nine
essential vitamins and minerals.”
In her presentation, Fogleman,
posing as a veterinarian, tried to
convince her Holstein, Daisy Lou,
that her diet of junk food was wear
ing her down.
“Your treatment today is for you
to begin eating real dairy foods,”
said Fogleman.
In clearing up some misconcep
tions about milk, Danielle Swisher
noted that there are six major
Sewn dairy maids will help promote the dairy Industry In Lycoming County this
year. Pictured, from left, are Randl Fogleman, Mary Ann Cline, Stephanie Ulmer, Sara

breeds of dairy cows.
“No, chocolate milk does not
come from brown cows,” she
joked.
The final stage of the pageant
came after each contestant had to
answer the question, “If a foreign
girl came to visit you, what would
you like her to know about your
state?”
“I think the first thing I’d do is
take her to a travel agency and pick
up a lot of pamphlets. Then I’d
take her all the local places and of
course I’d show her my home sur
roundings on the farm and I could
tell her the facts about Pennsylva
nia and it’s milk production,”
answered Peterman.
Showing her the area’s dairy
farms, taking her to see the capitol
and Hershey Park, were among the
things that Fogleman would like to
show to a foreign visitor.
Swisher stated that she would
like the visitor to know that Pen
nsylvania is one of the leading
dairy producing states in America.
She also said she would show them
what a dairy farm is like and how
different each dairy farm is.
As in many counties, dairy
maids make up an important part
of the dairy promotion team. Serv
ing as dairy maids in Lycoming
County are Randi Fogleman, Mary
Ann Cline, Stephanie Ulmer, Sara
Ulmer, Heather Swisher, Melissa
Daly and Julie Groff.
Local radio personality Todd
Stewart served as master of cere
monies for the event, while
pageant judges included Paul
Nichols of the American Dairy
Association, Dee Courier, Clinton
County Dairy Farmer and Carolyn
Moyer, Tioga County.
