I took a lot of pictures while I was at the recent World Dairy Expo blogging away on World Dairy Diary. Although I used a bunch of them during the course of writing about the event there were many more not used. So, it was Flickr photo album time.
He’s The Wisconsin Cow Czar
In this week’s ZimmCast I’ve got something a little different. You’re probably familiar with the Cow Parade, you know that public art exhibition that got started in Chicago some years ago. Maybe you collect the minatures that are now sold as fine collectibles everywhere. If you have wanted to know more about how a public art display that is all about a farm animal works then listen to my interview with cow parade, cow artist, Steve Kozar. Steve was painting his cow in his booth at World Dairy Expo, so we could even see him work! Steve said people were having fun with his last name but he really got a kick out of it when I dubbed him the “Wisconsin Cow Czar.”
Jahnke’s Should Start A “Famous Bucks”
It’s been a busy day at World Dairy Expo. Made somewhat harder after spending an evening with this crew (farm broadcasters) at Pam Jahnke’s house in Madison. She’s the fabulous farm babe of Wisconsin. Buck made great ribs and mine hurt from laughing so hard at all the jokes.
Sampling The Finer Things In Life At Expo
It’s time to leave World Dairy Expo for the day so I had to give you at least a taste of what’s going on here and a sample of what you’ll find on World Dairy Diary! Thanks to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board the media got some treats today.
The Charleston Orwig Suite At World Dairy Expo
In most big time stadiums you’ll find the “suites” where you’ve got your own little room to watch the game with your friends and clients. It’s the same here at the Coliseum at World Dairy Expo.
Farm Broadcasters In Action At Expo
Isn’t this a sight? You’ve got Bob Bosold, Col. Jon Phillips, Emery Kleven and Randy Koenen plotting World Dairy Expo coverage strategy. Yeah, that’s what they were talking about all right.
Bagpipes In The Show Ring
I just have to post this here on AgWired since I really like bagpipes. My sister played them for our high school “Kiltie Band.”
Hoard’s Sponsors Expo Reception
You always have to celebrate the end of the first day at a farm show. World Dairy Expo is no different. The exhibitor reception was sponsored by Hoard’s Dairyman. Isn’t this a great looking group?
All Aboard For World Dairy Expo 2006
While I was in the media room here at World Dairy Expo a little while ago I found out about next year’s “theme”. It’s already designed and they were providing us with posters. So here’s your first look at next year’s theme – Dairy Central. Let me know what you think!
McCormick Company Expo Exhibit
You never know who you’ll see when you go to a farm show. I’m here blogging the World Dairy Expo (World Dairy Diary) and the booth next to my little office is for the Southwest Plains Dairy Directory. I posted an announcement about it here on AgWired recently. And the person who’s working the exhibit is Kathy Cornett, Chairman of McCormick Company and a past president of the National Agri-Marketing Association I might add.
