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.

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.”
