Hello there! I am Brooke Marvin and I have the honor of being the 2016/2017 Susquehanna County Dairy Princess. I attend Blue Ridge High School, about to complete the eleventh grade and live in the heart of Susquehanna, PA. More importantly, I am proud to serve in the Dairy Princess Program to support and inform the public on the health benefits dairy products have to offer.

First and foremost, June is National Dairy Month! It began as National Milk Month in 1937 to promote milk to consumers in order to MOO-VE along and stabilize the dairy
production demand. Over the years, it has turned into an annual tradition that celebrates the contribution that the dairy industry has made on the world as a whole.  Without a doubt, the industry itself provides for thousands if not millions of people each and every year with nutritious products. In particular, the industry is what keeps milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and so much more on the shelves of our local grocery
stores. Isn’t that MOOtastic?

 With the experience of being the 2015/2016 Susquehanna County Alternate Dairy Princess, I am more than ready to communicate and grow everlasting friendships with those of you in and out of Susquehanna County. In addition, I am delighted to have the opportunity to enlighten the hearts of many with the vital health benefits dairy products have to offer. For instance, did you know milk is a key factor for healthy bone growth and development? What about the fact that it replenishes muscles and strengthens teeth?

 All in all, dairy products obtain nine essential nutrients that help keep us going in the busy month of June. Whether it be at a graduation party or picnic, be sure to include dairy products in your diet and/or events to ensure a happy, healthy month. With that in mind, feel free to contact me at bdancewhda@gmail.com for promotion details and events!
