This page postings showcase Indiana schools and the marvelous accomplishments Hoosier students have achieved as they learn more about good nutritional habits. From elementary through high school, all these events were sponsored by the dairy industry in an effort to promote healthy productive lifestyles for our future leaders.



Dairy Princess Contest Showcase Dairy Industry in Indiana.
The purpose of this program is to choose a young lady to represent the dairy industry for one year. She will be known as "Indiana Dairy Princess." The goal of the program is to acquaint the Dairy Princess with Indiana's dairy program and provide her with a variety of experiences that will enhance her personal growth. The program is open to all single Hoosier ladies, 16 to 21 years of age, who represent a dairy organization (i.e.: breed association, dairy cooperative, dairy processor, etc.). For an entry form with information about where to send your request click here. For a complete set of rules and more information about the program click on the banner above. Entry deadline is June 30, 2008. A $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to the winner.
