At other geocachers' request, the event is back again!
Celebrate National Chocolate Milk Day! Who doesn't crave a nice, tall glass of frothy chocolate milk? Until the 1820s, drinking chocolate was fairly uncommon and no one knew how to produce a smooth chocolate taste in liquid form. In 1828 the Van Houten company in Amsterdam invented the cocoa pressing method. This produced a light, fluffy chocolate powder that could be easily dissolved in water or milk. Today, chocolate milk is a popular beverage for people of all ages.
Chocolate milk has surprising restorative properties. In 2006, the dairy industry conducted a study and discovered that chocolate milk helps athletes with muscle recovery. It provides nine essential nutrients, making it both delicious and nutritious!
Pour yourself a nice tall glass of chocolate milk in honor of National Chocolate Milk Day!

Hope you can join us at the Dairy where we meet outside for geo-conversation along with chocolate milk and a petting zoo. The picnic table and benches were removed during the pandemic. Feel free to bring a chair to sit on. I will have cups and will be buying some chocolate milk to share. No need for anyone else to make a purchase unless you so desire. Hope to see you there.
