HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — This year at the Pennsylvania Farm Show the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association is offering an array of activities, featuring cows, interactive educational activities and free milkshake opportunities.
The Calving Corner, a visitor favorite, is back this year with family-friendly learning activities. The corner features live births, calves and cows, dairy farm families and more.
The association is also hosting “Moo-U,” at the Northeast Exhibit Hall, where kids of all ages will be able to participate in hands-on STEM learning activities.
There, veterinarians Dr. Jody Kull, Dr. Adrian Barragan, and other educators from the Dairy Excellence Foundation, Whitaker Center for the Arts and Sciences, PA Beef Council and REACH Cyber Academy are leading activities all week long.
The Northeast Hall is also home to the “Destination Dairy Educational Learning Space,” where visitors have the chance to meet Dairy Princesses from across the state and learn more about Pennsylvania’s dairy industry.
“At Destination Dairy and The Calving Corner, our dairy farmers really love welcoming children, families and individuals of all ages to experience an up-close look at farm life and help answer questions about our animals, farming, where milk comes from and about our world-class dairy industry. We are grateful to our farmers and to all who support us and our philanthropic projects,” PA Dairymen’s Association Executive Director Dave Smith said about the events.
More, on each day of the Farm Show, excluding military day, the association is partnering with The GIANT Company to give out free milkshake coupons to 100 fans. This year the associations’ new salted caramel milkshake honors The GIANT Company’s 100th anniversary.
“It’s thrilling to team up with GIANT to celebrate their 100th anniversary with our new delicious signature Salted Caramel flavor. We appreciate their extraordinary support of our Agriculture industry and of our dairy farmers, and for offering 100 fans FREE milkshakes daily throughout Farm Show,” Smith said.
On January 11, active military members and veterans will have a chance to claim free milkshake for PA Dairymen’s Military Day, sponsored by Renewal by Andersen.
“We are also proud to again team up with our friends at Renewal by Andersen of Central PA. This year, we will join forces on Military Day to honor our courageous veterans and active military with a free milkshake as a small token of our appreciation. We are blessed to have generous support to help spread additional joy to attendees, thanks to wonderful businesses, like GIANT and Renewal. We are excited to see our military friends, veterans and all of our devoted milkshake and Farm Show fans,” Smith said.
In addition to milkshakes, the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association is also selling mozzarella cheese cubes, grilled cheese and ice cream at the Farm Show. All proceeds will go to the Association’s philanthropic work.
