Announces Changes for 2000 Show
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) A new name, increased
premiums and new classes are
part of the comprehensive
changes being introduced for the
2000 Ali-American Dairy Show,
to be held at the Farm Show
Complex in Harrisburg, Sept.
24-Sept. 28.
In an effort to more accu
rately reflect the world class
nature of the show, the Board of
Directors dropped Pennsylvania
from the All-American Dairy
Show name, which they feel
better emphasizes the large par
ticipation by exhibitors through
out the country, while reflecting
a more global perspective.
“We move forward as a
leader in the dairy cattle show
sector. With additional funds
from the state legislature, we
will return significantly more

money to the dairy farmer ex

phasis on educating the
consumer about the value of
Pennsylvania’s dairy industry,”
Obie Snider, president of the
All-American Dairy Show, said.
“We will continue to be the pre
mier dairy cattle show on the
North American continent, and
demonstrate our wide appeal
through our new name.”
The increase in premiums is
an important change, Snider
said. First place winners in milk
ing cow classes will receive $3OO.
All animals which are shown in
the showring will get a prem
ium, with cow classes paying
$4O to the end of the class. Calf
and heifer classes will pay $l5O
for first place winners and $3O to
the end of the class. These in
creases will help offset some of

To increase interest among

A silent auction at the com
mercial exhibit area will help
vendors promote their services
and products. As dairy farmers

chance to bid on valuable pack
ages of goods and services. Ven
dors will also be on hand to talk
to farmers and share their ex
pertise. This interactive event is
meant to stimulate the trade
show floor traffic while enhance
vendor participation.

PDPP Donates Chocolate
Milk To Food Bank
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co. To give Pennsylvania’s
kids health and fun in one, the
Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion
Program donated 600 servings
of chocolate milk to the Greater
Pittsburgh Community Food
Bank to use in their after-school
program. The chocolate milk
was provided to children partici
pating in the program during
April.
“Kids are downing more and
more beverages like sodas and
juice drinks and as a result,
they’re not getting the calcium
they need at a crucial bone
building age,” says Debra Sum
merail, spokesperson for PDPP.

“But one of the best sources of
nutrients - particularly calcium -
is found in chocolate milk,
which kids find fun to drink.”
Sodas and juice drinks have
pushed aside milk for many kids
in this country, and dairy farm
ers are concerned because most
children are missing out on the
calcium they need for growth
and development. But there is
one unknown solution; choco
late milk.
A national survey of more
than 1,000 parents nationwide
revealed 84 percent of parents
do not know that chocolate milk
contains the same nine essential
nutrients as regular milk.
