Local Dairy Royalty Busy Promoting June Dairy Month

June is Dairy Month and the Meeker County American Dairy Association has been busy promoting its products. The local dairy royalty has been attending several events and they have numerous parades to attend in the near future.

Meeker County Junior Dairy Princess Izzy Lahr, daughter of Jennifer & Larry Lahr, says the Meeker County dairy royalty will be in this evening’s Town ‘n’ Country Days parade in Paynesville, then the Atwater parade Saturday afternoon, the Hutchinson parade on Sunday, and the Valley Daze parade on June 27th in Eden Valley. She says they will be serving ice cream in Central Park in Litchfield on June 25th; and they helped with Cheeseburger Days earlier this month outside of the Fieldgate Cheese Store in Litchfield.

Lahr says her family raises 400 heifers south of Cold Spring, and her grandparents – Len & LeAnn Wagner – operate Wagner Dairy. She’s currently in the 10th grade and is hoping to eventually attend the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

Lahr says she has 4 heifers and a cow that she shows, and due to the Meeker and Stearns County fairs over-lapping this year, she will be at the Stearns County Fair, and is also planning to be at the State Fair. She reminds everyone to eat their daily dose of dairy products.
