The new milkshake flight is a collaboration with America250PA and Visit PA, aiming to honor the nation's founding with a unique twist. Dave Smith, Executive Director of the PA Dairymen’s Association, expressed excitement about the new flavors, stating, "We are proud to commemorate our country’s founding right here in its birthplace of Pennsylvania."
In addition to the milkshake flight, the Farm Show will feature a range of dairy-related activities and exhibits, including Destination Dairy and The Calving Corner.
