You always wonder what the person looks like who you’ve spoken with on the phone but you’ve never met. I think the same is true with the blogger you’re reading. Who is this? Well, The World Dairy Expo Blog is being maintained by Chuck Zimmerman, ZimmComm, Marketing & Communications. He’s the one posting everything. In fact, it’s me that’s posting this article (not the best looking one in the picture)!
On the staff, Lisa Behnke, (the better looking one in the picture) is assisting with guidance on content and supplying information. I’ll be posting that information for you and covering the Expo as a very dedicated reporter, before, during and after.
I got to meet Lisa today at the World Dairy Expo Office. She’s was just finishing up the program and was gracious enough to spend some time with me. I’m stopping back in next week and hope to conduct some interviews which I’ll bring you right here, so stay tuned!
BTW. It’s casual Friday. That explains my Hawaiian shirt.

Today your blogmaster had the opportunity to visit the World Dairy Expo headquarters building. It’s brand new and still smells that way! If you haven’t seen it or visited then at least now you know what the entrance looks like! There are a lot of pictures from past Expo’s on the walls making just walking around an interesting experience.
