An Honor

  

 Cerwin and I were pleased that our youngest son Jere invited us to the Pennsylvania Dairy Summit, where he would be receiving an award for Lancaster DHIA – Dairy Herd Improvement Association – where he is General Manager.

 Kar-Dale-Acres & Lancaster DHIA won the Pacesetter Awards.

Pacesetter Awards are presented each year to an individual, company, or organization which has worked to build a positive image of the Pennsylvania dairy industry, and to create a prosperous future for the industry.

 

 

 Dessert was in the Exhibit Hall – a chocolate fountain, pound cake, and fruit.  Yum!
