Lake Mills Cheese, Please Recipe Contest
Presented by Crystal Farms Cheese
Lake Mills is legendary for its mysterious Rock Lake, its scenic bike trail, its historic state park, and its picturesque downtown. But it's Lake Mills' rolling hills, bucolic pastureland, and the Crystal Farms Cheese packaging plant that have established the community's long-standing and enthusiastic cheese heritage. As Lake Mills commemorates its 175th anniversary, Crystal Farms Cheese is proud to present the Lake Mills Cheese, Please Recipe Contest, a contest that will celebrate a town where residents are proud of their cheese and that will crown one lucky participant Lake Mills' Cheesiest.
Participants in the Lake Mills Cheese, Please Recipe Contest Presented by Crystal Farms Cheese will enter a recipe in any of three categories:
- Hot cheese dips/fondues
- Cold cheese balls/spreads
- Macaroni and cheese
Recipes will be judged on four criteria, including taste, texture, appearance and creativity by a panel of judges including Russ Roedl with Crystal Farms Cheese; Brett Olstadt, executive chef at Madison's Restaurant Muramoto; and Ed Grunden, president of the Lake Mills City Council. A first, second and third place winner will be named in each category, and one individual will be named Grand Champion-Lake Mills' Cheesiest.
All winners will receive a ribbon and a Cheese, Please t-shirt. In addition, third place winners will receive a discount coupon for a future Crystal Farms cheese purchase; second place winners will receive a six-month supply of Crystal Farms cheese; and first place winners will receive a one-year supply of Crystal Farms cheese.
This event is free and open to the public. Enter to win or just come enjoy the festivities, which begin at Noon on Saturday, Sept. 3 at the Gazebo in Commons Park. Please click here for more information.
