PDPF Uses Celebrity Pie-Eating Contest to Raise Cash
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 02/19/2013

Attendees of next month's annual meeting of the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin will get to cheer on their favorite celebrity when they take part in the group's first ever Pie Eating Contest. Being organized by the Professional Dairy Producers Foundation, the contest will feature notable people within the state's dairy industry who will race to eat a pie on stage the fastest without their hands.

The group is currently raising money by allowing the public to vote online for their favorite nominees through March 11.

Organizers say you can go to www.dairyfoundation.org/piecontest and click on VOTE. Then, enter your name, the name of the person you want to see in the finals, and the number of votes you want to cast. Each vote is a $1 donation to the Foundation, and you can cast as many votes as you want.

Finalists include Ben Brancel, Wisconsin's Secretary of Agriculture; Keith Engel, GEA Farm Technologies; Charlie Crave, Crave Brothers Farm; Pam Jahnke, the Fabulous Farm Babe; Bob Meyer, Brownfield Network; Bob Middendorf, WGLR Radio; and Dean Strauss, Majestic Crossing Dairy.

The Professional Dairy Producers Foundation was created in 2002 as a way to raise funds and awards grants for educational programs.
