Lot to eat and enjoy... Come hungry!
Amish Country
Cheese Festival
Labor Day Weekend
Sept 4th, 5th, & 6th 2010
Cheese Festival Food
First of all...Cheese-Cheese-Cheese
More than 800 pounds of fresh cheddar cheese served up free with crackers get festival go'ers involved with our namesake food.
Local celebrities, state senators and politicians, TV
personalities, and who knows who else show up to greet people and
help in the Cheese Tent. And while the lines sometimes get long
there is always plenty to go around. Each day!
But there's a lot more to enjoy that just cheese. On Saturday, early, tradition calls for the Arthur Volunteer Fire Department to open the weekend with a Pancake and Sausage breakfast at the firehouse. Also traditionally the Vine Street Christian Church hosts an ice cream social.
Add in the street vendor's offering festival food of all kinds. Corn dogs and elephant ears, gyros, lemonade shakeups, BBQ ribs, kettle corn, and more cheese...
