The 5th annual Meat-In Day was held in front of the Palmer Art's Museum and Findlay Dining Commons in East Halls, two areas of diverse and large crowds at Penn State. It all came together for another successful day of promoting animal agriculture. On Wednesday March 16th, 2011 clubs about 175 students from the College of Agriculture Sciences donned their "WE ARE... American Farmers: Feeding our country one day at a time" 2011 Meat-In Day T-Shirts as well as their 2009 BEEF t-shirts and 2010 "No Farming No Food" shirts from past Meat-In Day events to show their support around the campus. Thirty to forty members of four major college student organizations came to help with the event that established as a proactive response to the Great American Meatout Day. This year’s festivities were entrusted to the capable hands of Kristen Stufft, Collegiate CattleWomen Beef Promotions Chair and Christiana Graver, Meat-In Day Chair Block and Bridle. Students passed out 1,000 cheese sticks, 200 lamb sticks, 1,500 packs of Seltzer’s Lebanon Bologna, 1,200 pork sticks, as well as 1,600 pieces of beef jerky and 200 pieces of lamb jerky at the student union building in the afternoon as well as in the dinning commons in the evening. Students passed out 3,000 educational flyers with each product stating the benefits of eating a few of the different animal commodities we consume on a daily basis as well. The infamous Patty Melt was there for promotions too. This event has received much national recognition for the event, having articles featured in readings such as Lancaster Farming and Farmer's Friend.
