Marcy & I had a great opportunity to meet with Andrew Ritchey at Ritchey’s Dairy today. We had a great talk about our campaign. We had a personal tour of the entire facility including seeing some original bottles dating back to the 1940’s, which included advertisements to buy war bonds during WWII. We met several employees, one of whom is celebrating his 40th year with the company. That is a testament to what a great family company they have had for over 80 years. Thanks again to Andrew for your hospitality. ... See MoreSee Less
