I Irginia Correspondent
WINCHESTER, Va. The
“Udderly Delicious Royal Reci
pes Cookbook, put out by the
Virginia Dairy Princess Program
will let you put your “moo-ney”
where you ‘moouth” is.
It’s hot off the press, chocked
full of recipes to serve the family,
the homemade gift maker and
yes, even the dog. Best of all its
purpose is that of benefiting the
Virginia Dairy Princess Program
and launching an educational
scholarship program for the dairy
princesses. So far these hard
working ambassadors of the Vir
ginia dairy industry have had to
work on a “self-pay” basis.
According to Marty Potts, Pur
cellville, one of the state coordi
nators, the scholarship program
will offer incentives and support
for a college education. The prin
cesses average 2000 appearances
each year. The program coordi
nators are depending on the
scholarship generating incentives
for the girls, Potts said.
“When the girls make an ap
pearance they are pretty well
paying for themselves,” said
Potts, adding, “We are trying to
do things the girls will be proud
of, and take the weight (responsi
bility) off their moms.”
‘We are not funded. We are
based completely on donations.”
Because they believe so strong
ly that the dairy princess pro
gram is a worthwhile investment
for the dairy industry, Potts and
Laura Dufford Jackson, another
coordinator, spent a year collect
ing recipes and getting the cook
book organized.
Potts savs “Udderly Deli
