The Midwest Dairy Association celebrated June Dairy Month in a unique way – they sponsored a local ball team and “pitched” dairy at the same time! Homerun!
Midwest Dairy Association sponsored the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in their series opener against the Schaumburg Flyers. North Dakota Dairy Princess Stephanie Weinberger got things started right by throwing out the first pitch of the game, and the day ended with a handy RedHawks win, 12-3.
The game’s dairy focus included People Behind the Product banners on display and dairy products offered in the concession area, including cheese curds, wrist bands, 3-A-Day of Dairy pens, recipes and grocery list pads. Announcements made throughout the game reminded fans to honor June Dairy Month by getting 3-A-Day of Dairy products and thanking the dairy farmers for their hard work and dedication.
In true baseball tradition, Princess Weinberger and Char Heer, industry relations manager for Midwest Dairy Association, also led the audience in singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame,” during the seventh inning stretch.
