MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — It’s time for June Dairy Month!
The 78th Alice in Dairyland Sarah Hagenow says the annual celebration of everything dairy had much more basic roots.
“This celebration as June Dairy Month began officially in 1939, but it actually started as National Milk Month back in 1937, and its roots really aimed to promote consuming milk and the great benefits of consuming milk,” Hagenow said.
Hagenow says there are a myriad of events and celebrations taking place across the state, and you can find out more online at Wisconsin Dairy dot Org.
