Missouri Highlights

A Fuel Up to Play 60 MVP Clinic was held in December as part of Midwest Dairy's partnership with the St. Louis Rams. More than 100 students attended from four schools chosen for their participation in Fuel Up to Play 60 programming. Students listened to healthy eating and exercising advice from the Rams' team nutritionist, and participated in running, catching and throwing drills administered by Rams staff and player Chris Long.

Midwest Dairy hosted a Kansas City Chief's tailgate party for students from two elementary schools in Lee's Summit, Missouri. The chilly Sunday night game of the Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers was November 27 and was part of a reward for the school district receiving breakfast grants from General Mills.

The Missouri State Fair has come and gone with some cooler weather, a few stormy nights and some great highlights. The 2011 butter cow weighed in at 862 pounds and was inspired by the famous artist Rodin's "The Thinker." Local Sedalia artist, Janice Hargrave, along with her brother Scott, completed the task in eight days and have already started to think about next year’s inspiration.
