World Dairy Expo recently named Caylei Arnold of Hartford, Connecticut as the 10K Ultimate Fan Giveaway winner. The contest was created to celebrate and thank the 10,000 Expo Facebook fans. When Expo reached this 10K milestone, the fans were asked to answer “What is the world’s greatest dairy show?” Thousands responded with the correct answer – World Dairy Expo! From those who answered, the winner was randomly selected.


The winner, Caylei Arnold, holds a degree in Animal Science from the University of Connecticut. She became involved with dairy cattle during her freshman year in college. She quickly fell in love with dairy animals and joined the UConn Dairy Club. Since 2010, she has shown registered Holsteins and Jerseys for John & Ashley Collins of Powder-Mill Holsteins & Jerseys in Enfield, Conn.

After Caylei won, she commented, “I have never been to World Dairy Expo but I have spent the past several years tuning into ExpoTV online to catch a glimpse of the shows! I am so excited to arrive at Expo and experience it for the first time.”
 

The contest prize includes three nights at The Madison Concourse Hotel & Governor’s Club, $100 Purple Cow Gift Shop shopping spree, $100 worth of Food Fight Restaurant meals in the Madison area, $50 Gift Certificate for Downtown Madison area retailers, two World Dairy Expo Season Passes, a gift basket from the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau, daily lunch at World Dairy Expo from the Expo Bistro, Badger Dairy Club Cheese Stand and GEA Ice Cream Stand and preferred seating for the Supreme Champion Ceremony on Saturday at Expo.
