• sponsor an ice cream tasting in a low-income neighborhood
• have a homemade ice cream making contest at a community event
• have an educational booth at the county fair
• be the June Dairy Month Chairperson or help the Chairperson with planned activities
• assist with a Taste and Tell Luncheon, where all the foods contain dairy
• sponsor a Merry Dairy Dish Contest, a competition where 4-H'ers make dairy dishes and pass out samples to shoppers in the grocery store
• host an ice cream party at the nursing home
• donate milk or dairy products to food bank
• hatch chicks for a school classroom
• decorate Easter eggs with preschoolers or at a nursing home
