Ice cream and cinnamon rolls a 30-year hit at Dairy Women’s fair booth As the hot California sun bore down on the Kings Fair this past weekend, the Kings County Dairy Women were helping kids and parents alike to beat the heat with their ice cream and sandwich booth. "The booth was started to give the kids showing animals and the ones here all day long a nutritional product, such as milk, ice cream, and our beef pit sandwiches," said Teresa Evangelo, treasurer for the group and organizer of this year's booth. "We want to offer kids a good meal at an affordable price, so their parents will appreciate what we do for them." |
