Annabelle hits the road teaching families to get fit
Hi, I’m Annabelle, the Roberts Dairy cow, and I’m really getting a workout with Des Moines area Hy-Vee dietitians during June Dairy Month. I want to teach kids and parents about the importance of including milk and dairy as a part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Throughout the month of June, I’ll be getting fit with my friends from Hy-Vee at local health fairs. I hope you’ll come to visit me and bring your entire family to enjoy $1 kids meals, a parking lot obstacle course, take a milk mustache photo or spin the trivia wheel for a chance to win prizes. My friends from the Midwest Dairy Council have provided “Drink More Milk” armbands and jump ropes for the events. Stop by, refuel and sample Roberts Dairy fat free chocolate milk. I can’t wait to meet you!
Meet Annabelle at the following Events:
| August 14 | Milk Mustache Mobile Tour Iowa Kick-off Event |
Nollen Plaza Des Moines, Iowa |
| Sample ice cold Roberts Milk from 11 am – 2 pm | ||

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!
Monday, July 28, 2008
Wow, what an exciting night! My friend Nikki Stahr from the Midwest Dairy Association invited me to see the I-Cubs play on Friday, July 18th. I had soooo much fun! Baseball has always been one of my favorite summer pastimes (watching, not playing, of course). The fans were fabulous and the game was so exciting! read more »
Wrapping up June Dairy Month
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Whew! I can’t believe it’s July already. June Dairy Month sure went by fast, but I’ve never had more fun! The Hy-Vee health fair events were a blast. Once again, we had a great time with the “3-a-Day” Trivia Wheel Contest and sharing delicious Roberts Chocolate Milk and yogurt parfaits with all my friends. I also want to give a special “shout-out” to all the ladies of the Iowa Crush women’s professional football team, who stopped by the 51st Street Hy-Vee event to help run our special obstacle course — the kids had a blast! read more »
Des Moines Start! Heart Walk – June 7, 2008
Monday, June 9, 2008
Whew! Glad I kept up with my laps around the pasture this spring in preparation for the 2008 Des Moines Start! Heart Walk. This annual event strives to create opportunities for people to improve their health by walking and simultaneously raising funds to help fight heart disease and stroke. I had a great time, ‘mooing’ at hundreds of walkers and greeting them as they came by to sample Roberts Dairy products. read more »
Urbandale Hy-Vee – June 6, 2008
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I had a great time celebrating June Dairy month with my friends at Hy-Vee. Over the past week, I’ve visited health fairs in Des Moines area Hy-Vee locations in Urbandale, Johnston and Jordan Creek. Strong winds kept us from setting up the obstacle course at the June 6th event in Urbandale. But we still had fun as I greeted folks outside, while my friend, the Hy-Vee dietician, hosted a fun trivia contest inside – giving away great prizes along with free samples of yummy yogurt parfaits! read more »
My Secret For Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Wednesday, June 4, 2008
As I get ready to hit the road to celebrate June Dairy Month, I started thinking about how difficult it can be to maintain a healthy weight while traveling. When I’m away from home pasture, it can be hard to stay away from the drive-thrus and vending machines. One of the messages I look forward to sharing with people during my June Dairy Month stops is to focus on eating healthier now instead of dieting to lose weight later. read more »
