Dairy producers and youth from around the country make the trip to World Dairy Expo every year. They come to compete in the show ring, as part of a judging team, or maybe even in the fitting or showmanship contests. But there are a few more things to look at that just cows at every Expo.
Obviously, we're talking about the commercial exhibits stretched throughout the Exhibit Hall, Outdoor Trade Mall, Coliseum corridors, Arena, and other buildings. This year, there are over 800 commercial exhibits. We invite all of them to our annual Tuesday night party to thank them for participating in the industry's biggest event of the year. It is also where World Dairy Expo announces the "best booth" awards. Look for a post on that shortly.
Thank you to everyone who attended, we hope you had a great time!
This year, along with food and drink, we had Hoard's Dairyman Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream sundaes. They were delicious.
