Special Report

A familiar face in a new place

One familiar face in a new position this year is Kristin Olson; over the years she has shown cattle, been a commercial exhibitor and even spent one year as Wisconsin’s Alice in Dairyland. Now she Media Relations Manager for World Dairy Expo. That diversified background at the show will serve Olson well when guiding members of the media towards some of the interesting stories. As one would expect, the media are as diversified as the show; be it a local TV reporter, a seasoned farm broadcaster or an international publication, Olson works to assist them in any way to cover the event. One of the new offerings this year is a book; “We Need a Show’ commemorating the beginning of the show 49 years ago. The book is the work of 40 writers and has over 200 pictures telling the story of show as it heads into its 50^th anniversary next year. The book will be available for sale at this year’s show.
