Plainview Milk Products Cooperative celebrated its 125th anniversary in style on June 14, welcoming the public to help enjoy the fun.
Visitors enjoyed hot dogs, popcorn with creamy butter, ‘slushies,’ and ice cream sundaes (served up by Wabasha County American Dairy Association Princess Ambassadors Charli Yust and Amelia Young).
The Plainview News reports attended could also enter drawings and check out historic photos and relics from the old days at the company, established in 1899.
PMP’s Field Services building was buzzing with fun as families enjoyed the evening.
Operations Manager Rob Tullis said |It’s a great feeling, it’s been a wonderful time, watching the cooperative grow and celebrating with the patrons and the community. It’s nice to be able to open up the doors and invited everyone to the celebration.”
Art Hoffman, a Theilman-area dairy farmer who serves as chairman of PMP’s Board of Directors, said his family has delivered milk to the cooperative since about the late 1950s. Back then it was delivered in cans.Hoffman says “it’s a pretty great group of management, employees and haulers, it’s a great place to do business.”
