This year’s theme for World Dairy Expo is “Bright Lights, Big Show” – as the show press materials say it represents “a brilliant place to exchange ideas, a dazzling display of dairy cattle and the brightest showcase of dairy technology, products and services geared to today’s dairy producer.”

The annual themes are a unique aspect of World Dairy Expo. The special themes were started in the late 1980’s, and each year the showring is decorated with two backdrops that correspond to that year’s theme. Themes have ranged from the simple to the extravagant, like the “Excitement is Building” theme which had a huge construction like backdrop. The World Dairy Expo is also known for having colored shavings in the show ring. This year the color is a kind of lavender, very pretty.
