*Our committee relies heavily on the donations of generous people and companies to make our promotions a success. Without the farmers, the teamwork of the members on the committee, the girls in the dairy princess program, and the generous people who provide us with donations and hospitality, we would not be able to achieve our goals. We'd like to send a big thank you out there to everyone who helps us promote dairy products and the dairy industry. Thank you!*
