Warren County Dairy Princess Veronica Ludwick and the Warren County Dairy Promotion team held the annual Farmer’s Appreciation Dinner Sunday, March 27, at Lander Fire Hall.

There was not Farmer’s Appreciation Dinner in 2021 due to COVID-19.

There were 71 people in attendance.

“The Promotion Team expressed their appreciation of the hard work that goes into being a dairy farmer and thanked them for their involvement in our community,” according to a release from the team.

In addition to dairy farming families, special guests included Sen. Scott Hutchinson and Pennsylvania Dairy Princess and Promotion Services Northwest Region Coordinator Lisa Royek and State Coordinator Linda Gilbert.

Essay winners from Eisenhower Elementary School, Eisenhower Middle School, and Warren County Christian School read their winning entries on “Why the dairy cow is important to my community.”

A basket raffle was held to benefit Fill a Glass with Hope, which provides milk for local food banks and families. The event raised $345.

“The Farmer’s Dinner was made possible by the generous donations received from the community,” according to the team.
