Milk Drop Is Back And Better!

Milk Drop is back and better than ever!

This fun event that has kicked off Summer SOULstice for the past three years harkens back to the days when dairy was a vibrant agricultural industry in Giles County, Main Street Pulaski celebrated Dairy Month each June during its annual Dairy Festival. Among the events, possibly the favorite, was the Milk Drop.

The top three Milk Drop teams this year will receive cash prizes of $200, $100 and $50 thanks to First National Bank of Pulaski.

Teams of two participate in the event, with one team member standing on the Giles County Courthouse balcony with a half-gallon of milk, trying to pour the milk into an empty half-gallon container on top of their teammate's head below. The team with that catches the most milk wins, but it's the folks who get to watch the spectacle who are the real winners.

Former Main Street Coordinators Jane Lee Robertson and Judy Pruett helped bring the event back to the first Summer SOULstice and encourage teams from businesses, organizations/groups, churches or individuals to participate in the fun this year.

"The competition is SWEET, the prize is DELICIOUS and the laughter is HEALTHY," Robertson said.

"Teams are lining up already with business CEOs, presidents, managers, politicians and business owners. The more the merrier and milkier!" Pruett added.

Register your team below.

Call  the Giles County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce at 363-3789 or email mainstreet@gilescountychamber.com to sign your team up for Milk Drop at Summer SOULstice.

"Join us for 'milkin' on the Square!" Robertson said.

Milk Drop is scheduled to begin at the Giles County Courthouse at 5 p.m. to kick off the Third Annual Summer SOULstice.
