Jolly Juniors and Juniorettes 4-H announce dairy story winners

The Jolly Juniors and Juniorettes 4-H Club and the Midwest Dairy Association-South Dakota Division sponsored a story contest for young people ages 4 to 12 in conjunction with June being Dairy Month.

The young people are reminded that 3-A-Day Dairy is as easy as 1-2-3: 1. Look for the 3-A-Day logo on packages of milk, cheese and yogurt showing they are an excellent source of calcium. 2. Enjoy your favorite flavors of great-tasting milk, snackable cheeses or portable yogurt. 3. Take a "3 p.m. Break" every day. Use this time as a reminder to tally daily dairy servings.

The young authors and illustrators turned in some very good stories and illustrations. Members of the Yankton Writers Club judged both the illustrations and the stories. Listed now are the winners:

Illustrations: 1. Zach Burcham, 2. Tori Andre, 3. Maddia Kallsen.
