We went with our friends Quinn and Tiffany and Clarissa, and met some more friends, Aaron and Rachel there. It seems like it is always hot on Labor Day weekend! Clarissa kept cool with her hat and lots of water.
Clarissa and her friends Taylor and Brooklyn were the youngest entrants in the youth cheese eating contest! The best part was that their parents got to keep the cheese that the kids didn't eat (so almost a pound of yummy cheese!).
Matt, Quinn, and Tiff entered the adult eating competition. Matt decided that he might just try to win the contest this year. However, about 3/4 of the way through his POUND of cheese, he changed his mind!! :)
The aftermath...too much cheese does not a happy stomach make!
Rachel and Aaron had a good time tagging along with us and taking pictures for us when we were competing in the International Cheese Curling Competition!
Look at that form! Tiff has great followthrough! So, curling cheese is similar to the Olympic sport of curling, minus the ice. One team member is the sweeper, who guides the object to the bullseye. The rest of the team hurl the object towards the bullseye and hope that the sweeper can fix their terrible throw! (oh that was just me!)
We were very glad we chose Matt for our sweeper! He helped us get a perfect 12 of 12 score! Which....drumroll please....
...ended up making us the winners!!! We came home with our wheel of Baby Swiss cheese and some t-shirts. You may have read about us in the Decatur Herald & Review...under the team name "Nibblers." Hilarious, yes, we think so too!
Clarissa is our sweeper in training... we think she's got what it takes! :)
