June 30, 2016 – Dairy Princess – Julia Hauser attended the National Holstein Convention.  “I had a great time at National Holstein Convention getting to know Saratoga County Dairy Princess, Melanie Luke, and Rensselaer County Dairy Princess, Natalie Shudt. We handed out free goodies, served milk and ice cream at junior luncheons on Tuesday and Thursday! I wish everyone the best of luck at the convention the rest of the week!”

June 22, 2016 – Dairy Princess – Julia Hauser and First Alternate – Sara Stein meet with students in the Greenwich K – 2 Building.  “Monday Julia and I went to 7 classes in Greenwich’s K-2 building and had an awesome time meeting so many kids who were so excited meeting the Dairy Princesses. We taught them about what cows eat, read a book, watched Discover Dairy’s awesome video about how  the dairy industry works (www.discoverdairy.com, check it out!), and had some stickers, pencils, and Go-Gurts for some fun treats as well.
Today I went to one of Greenwich’s 5th-grade class and did some of the similar things we did on Monday. As well as reminding them to have an active summer and drink lots of milk to refuel after their activities. It was awesome going back to my old schools and seeing some of my old teachers as well as meeting some of the new ones. Seeing the little girls light up when they saw 2 princesses in their class put a huge smile on my face and made me love the job as a dairy princess even more. I’m looking forward to traveling around to other schools and meet some more kids!”

June 15, 2016 – Dairy Princess – Julia Hauser at the Farm Credit East 100th Anniversary.  “Congratulations on 100 years of service to agriculture Farm Credit East! I was honored to be invited along with Greenwich FFA members to come help celebrate this accomplishment!”

July – National Ice Cream Month

by Sara Stein – Washington County Dairy Princess 1st Alternate

Did you know in 1984, President Ronald Regan designated July as National Ice Cream month?

Also, the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.

This year National Ice Cream Day will be on July 17th.

Former President Reagan recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food enjoyed by over 90% of the population.

Here is an easy, fun recipe to help you celebrate Ice Cream Month.

Easy Layered Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

Reddi-whip or homemade whipped cream
Hershey’s syrup

Unwrap sandwiches and place the first layer in a 9″ x 13″ dish, then cover with whipped cream and drizzle with syrup.  Repeat layers then cover and store in the freezer.

ENJOY!
