Juniata County Dairy Promotion
Juniata County Dairy Maid Natalee Zug.

Hello, my name is Natalee Zug. I am the Juniata County Dairy Maid. Do you know why it is important to eat and drink dairy products each and every day? It is because they are an awesome source of protein and calcium, which are important for strong bones and teeth.

The Juniata County Dairy Promotion is currently conducting a fundraiser. We are selling chicken barbeque tickets with all proceeds going toward promotions. You have the option to purchase tickets for halves or meals.

Pickup is Saturday March 21 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Locust Run Church. Take-out only. For ticket information, please contact a member of the committee or court: Dina Zug, Pat Dressler, Jamie Lewis, Linda Geisinger, Kera Bentz or Natalee Zug.
