It's too bad that the Green County Cheese Days only held once every two years. Since the celebration based upon cheese was held early this autumn, it won't be returning to Monroe for more than another twenty months. In the meantime, though, satisfy your cravings for fresh kÃse and Swiss culture Wisconsin-style with an online video montage created with vintage photos from the festival.
This brief video tribute to the cheesy biennial follows below.
The montage is set to the official festival song, titled Cheese Days in Monroe. Here are the lyrics to the ditty:
Come to Cheese Days in Monroe.More information about Monroe can be found in a profile published by the Cultural Coalition of Wisconsin.
That's the place for you to go.
Music, dancing, yodeling, too.
And a big parade for you.
And we know you will be pleased.
When you taste Green County Cheese.
Come to Cheese Days, come to Cheese Days,
There are only 632 days remaining until Green County Cheese Days returns, to be hold over the weekend of Sep. 19-21, 2008.
