Thanks for the great post about the Chee...Hi Amy, <br /><br />Thanks for the great post about the Cheese Curd Festival! We're so busy during the event that we don't get to fully enjoy all the food, events and happenings. Reliving the highlights through your photos was a great treat! <br /><br />And rest assured we've got a plan to reduce those long cheese curd lines next year! They truly are the best you'll ever have and we want everyone to get their fill when they visit! From your post we also learned that we need to do a better job with our food vendors of promoting their cheese curd eats! <br /><br />Every food vendor must have at least two creative cheese curd dishes on their menu for the festival. We give them some time to gain feedback from festival guests before asking them to submit the cheese curd dish of their choice to the committee for the chance to win one of two prizes: Festival Favorite (chosen by a committee) and People's Choice (chosen by festival guests who submit their votes online). <br /><br />You can see this year’s entries on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/CheeseCurdFestival/posts/1332412530210076<br /><br />And this year's winning dishes can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/CheeseCurdFestival/posts/1337597333024929<br /><br />We’re happy to see you enjoyed your time in Ellsworth and that you plan to return next year. Mark your calendar for Friday, June 22 and Saturday, June 23, 2018 and be sure to follow us on Facebook so you can plan your visit and get in on all your favorite events!<br /><br />Thanks again for the awesome feedback!<br /><br />The Ellsworth Curd Crew<br />https://www.facebook.com/CheeseCurdFestival/<br />Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181368641701403999noreply@blogger.com
