Dave Schmidt, WBA executive director, runs the cream puff operation at Wisconsin State Fair Park. Every year Dave hires approximately 200 employees that help make, bake, and sell Original Cream PuffsTM to hungry fairgoers. The Cream Puff operation has been a success for both the WBA and the Wisconsin State Fair since 1924.
The organization that
oversees the Dairy Bakery Operation is called OCP Bakers, LLC.
This organization, which has its own board of managers, was created in 2006
and the inaugural board meeting was held April 24, 2007. Dave Schmidt
is the president of this organization.
The 2010 Wisconsin State Fair runs from Aug. 5-15.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Dairy Bakery this year. We appreciate your support and will see you in 2010 when you can once again enjoy your Original Cream PuffsTM, Blue Ribbon Brownies and Colossal Chocolate Chip Cookies!
