Looking for a great way to spend a fun day with the kids
that doesn’t break the bank? The Great Dairy
Adventure on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 will feature loads of fun for
kids!
Cow milking, craft projects and milk mustache photos are just some of the
things to entertain kids as they explore the wild
world of dairy. Free ice cream treats, giveaways, drawings and
hands-on activities that teach the nutritional benefits of dairy
foods will also be included in this adventuresome
day! So pack up the kids and the picnic basket and head out to the Pavilion
for a fun-filled day of learning about the dairy
world.
From toddlers to teenagers, there is something for everyone.
Teachers/leaders will receive packets of nutrition
education materials that provide simple ideas for teaching kids the
importance of including three servings of dairy a day in their diets,
in addition to physical activity, to help them
develop stronger bones and a healthy lifestyle. Kids will learn that when
they put good energy into their bodies, they get energy out.
Admission and all activities are free for kids and adults of all ages.
Picnic areas can be set up on the lawn around the
Pavilion and concessions are available. Activities will take place inside
the Pavilion and all events are handicapper
accessible. There will be great photo opportunities so
don’t forget the camera! The Great Dairy Adventure is part of the
Michigan Dairy Expo. Hundreds of cows and their
owners will take part in the four-day Expo beginning July 21st. Students
from FFA chapters and 4-H clubs around the state
will take part in skills contests during the events.
