WisMilkMarketingBoardLogoThe Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) invites dairy producers from Wis. to their annual Dairy Day at Miller Park on Sunday, May 31, 2009. On Sunday, May 31, the 42,000 expected fans (a sell-out crowd) who visit Miller Park will have the opportunity to taste dairy products and walk away with a dairy-themed souvenir.

All active Wisconsin dairy producers will be offered discounted tickets in reserved sections. Options available include Terrace Reserved seats for $10.00 each (regularly $14) and Loge Outfield Box seats for $24.00 each (regularly $28). All active dairy producers were mailed a postcard with ordering instructions and a discount code. If you are an active dairy producer with an active license number and did not receive a postcard but would like to order tickets, contact WMMB at 1.800.383.9662 ext. 232 or e-mail producer@wmmb.org. Tickets for this offer must be purchased by April 30, 2009. Tickets are available in limited quantities, so call today! Tickets are not available for this program at the ticket windows or from the Brewers Website.

Dairy Day will start with what’s gearing up to be a mini-festival outside the gates of the park. Prior to game time, a number of Wisconsin companies will offer product tasting of their milk, ice cream flavors and cheese.

The fun and education will continue inside. Each person who walks through the gate will receive a collectible bobblehead featuring MLB’s All Time Save’s Leader; Trevor Hoffman, complete with the Wisconsin Cheese logo. This collector’s item will remind people for years to come of the important role the dairy business plays in Wisconsin.
