1999 Brown County Dairy Princesses: Lori Schnobrich and Laura Schmid
Parents: Jeff & Joanna Schmid, Sleepy Eye
Currently: Sleepy Eye MN
Laura shares her favorite dairy promotion “was being able to go into the classrooms and talking to the younger kids. Being able to see there faces and how excited they would be when we would talk about the dairy industry. My favorite memory would have to be when I attended Dairy Days at Gilfillan and the Regional Dairy Princesses contest in Redwood Falls. I meet some really great people. It was great to be around other princesses in our Region and talk about the dairy industry. The whole experience was very memorable.” Laura currently lives in Sleepy Eye with her husband Joe and their dog Sadie. She works in New Ulm at Beacon Promotions, Inc. as a Graphic Artist. To current princesses, Laura shares. “Remember to have fun and be proud of what your family and all the dairy farmers past and present. The industry has changed very much over the past years (less small family dairy farms). None of us (princesses and ambassadors) would be here today with out past dairy farmers that have contributed to the industry. You are one person and you can make a difference, if it is an elementary student you are talking to about where milk comes from or if it is a public official. They will remember you and what you do and what your family has done for the dairy industry and how proud you are to represent it.” Laura stays active in the dairy industry in a number of ways: “I am still involved with the dairy industry with 4-H and the Brown Co. Dairy Bowl team. I have been coaching for the last 4 years. I enjoy teaching the younger 4-Hers about cows and how the dairy industry works. And when asked to help with anything involving the dairy project, I jump in and help. Every since I was a Brown Co. Dairy Ambassador and Princesses, I have worked in the Brown Co. ADA Malt Stand at the Brown Co. Fair. Since then I have been asked every year to come and work at the malt stand. I look forward to doing it every year and look forward to working with the ambassadors and princesses and other dairy farmers.”
