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.
