Sign up for golf!
Sign up now for the Central Plains Dairy Best Ball Golf Tourneys. All skill
levels are welcome. One tourney will be held at Orange City, Iowa, July 29.
The other will be at Dell Rapids, S.D., Aug. 4. Lots of prizes and fun are
planned for both. Lunch beginning at 11 a.m.
Shotgun start at noon. There will be steak suppers at the end of
both events.
Industry members, be sure to invite some of your customers to spend the
afternoon playing golf with you! It’s a great networking opportunity and a
chance to relax away from the dairy.
If you don’t have a group to golf with, we can pair you up.
Cost is $80 per person. Space is limited. To reserve your spot, call Kathy
at 218-236-8420 or email her at
kathy@centralplainsdairy.com.

it.”
