The All-American Dairy Show is accepting nominations for the 2010 Obie Snider Award through May 31.
The award was established to honor a dairy leader who follows in the footsteps of Snider’s character, ethics, service, leadership and professionalism. The award will be presented at the 47th All-American Dairy Show, Sept. 18-23, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg.
“Obie’s staunch commitment to Pennsylvania’s dairy industry was manifested through the All-American Dairy Show,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell C. Redding. “The past recipients share his passion in every way, especially for this premier dairy show that features the best cattle, top-notch youth competitions and a unique sense of fellowship unlike any other show. We expect this year’s nominees and winner to be no exception.”
Past winners of the award are Donald Seipt of Easton, Pa., Creedin Cornman of Carlisle, Pa., David Patrick of Woodbine, Md., Berneta Gable of New Enterprise, Pa., Dieter Krieg of Lititz, Pa., and the 2009 winner George Cashell of Shippensburg, Pa.
