Milk Rocks with Rascal Flatts

April 7th, 2008

Hi - I’m Nicole Head from Headline Farm in Madison County, NY. I am currently entered in a contest to sing with Rascal Flatts on www.milkrocks.com. I am the only video that truly does state that “milk rocks” and you’ll find me singing in the barn with all my milkmakers! If you could go on milkrocks.com and look for my video and vote, that would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you could spread the word around the dairy universe, that would be awesome! Thank you so much!
