Toast to Big Tex’s 60th Birthday at the State Fair of Texas (+ Giveaway) #DDZ #StateFair

This Sunday you can join me at the“Toast to Big Tex’s 60^th Birthday” on Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. at the State Fair of Texas.

At 1 PM we will toast to Big Tex and then check out the special fun exhibit called the Dairy Discovery Zone! Dairy MAX travels to fairs and exhibitions in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Southwest Kansas to educate people about dairy products. The interactive and virtual fun tour, Dairy Discovery Zone, is geared toward children, but can also teach adults about the dairy industry, along with the consumption, nutrition and sale of dairy products, and healthy lifestyles. The mobile exhibit features a walk-through trailer that has a touch screen television featuring educational videos and 150 facts line the walls. After walking through the trailer there are multiple handouts, including recipes and a backpack. Dairy Discovery Zone’s main point of interest is the life-size replica cow that can be milked. Fair goers have the opportunity to take their picture with the cow and be entered into contests to win free prizes and a chance to name the cow. At each event, approximately 35,000 to 60,000 people come through the exhibit—approximately 2,000 a day. In a year’s time, Dairy MAX reaches approximately 230,000 people.

Dairy MAX is also involved in Fuel Up to Play 60. We’ve teamed up with the National Dairy Council and the National Football League to eat right and stay active. It also allows the students more accessibility to nutrient-rich meals.  Fuel Up to Play 60 has challenges throughout the year for students, and the winners receive prizes. Former and present NFL players visit schools to talk to the students and educate them about the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. Dairy MAX’s goal is to educate people about the importance of healthy living and the nutritious facts about dairy while being entertaining.
