Whether you are looking for something moo to wear to the Dairyfest Barn Dance, working on a kitchen makeover, revamping your vehicle, or hunting for a gift, don’t discount cow power. That beautiful black and white Holstein print is available on pretty much anything.  Milk your ride with a set of Holstein floor mats and a steering wheel cover. Freshen your bathroom with a Holstein shower curtain and soap dispenser. Show someone how much moo care with a black and white smart phone cover, a watch, or even a cow-themed chess set. You’re not convinced? Pop over to cowdepot.com where they have collected every weird and wonderful cow-related item for sale and you will certainly have your eyes opened to the possibilities.

That glossy black and milky white; it’s a striking pattern, if you ask me.  Here are a few of my favourite Hostein-themed products — none made with real cow hide of course!

Dairyfest is having a birthday. This year we are 25 years young. We’d like to make this year’s Dairyfest extra special. To do this we need your help. Send us ideas for what you would like to see at Dairyfest 2013. You can email info@winchesterdairyfest.com. Better yet, come out to a committee meeting and see how the planning is going. This special milestone is the perfect opportunity to get you, your family, or your business involved in Dairyfest. There are opportunities to suit everyone.

There is a committee meeting this Wed., March 27 at the Winchester Arena boardroom at 7:30 pm. Don’t be shy. Come join the birthday celebrations!

A big thank you to everyone who took part in Dairyfest 2012. A lot of fun was had and things ran smoothly. This  wouldn’t have been possible without our stellar volunteers. Thanks to those who gave their time to run events, sell tickets, or work the bar, among other things. Thanks also to our fabulous sponsors. You have enabled us to include more activities, hand out more prizes, and generally make Dairyfest a success.

It won’t be long before we start planning for 2013 — the 25th anniversary of Dairyfest! If you’d like to get involved, email volunteers@winchesterdairyfest.com.
