Cheese Festival Returns for 32nd Year
The Watonga Cheese Festival will
return this October for its traditional two-day events, including arts
and crafts, quilt show, amusements, entertainment, merchants cheese food
tour, cheese tasting, classic car show and a parade on Saturday. The
festival will be Oct. 10 and 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
“We are thrilled to bring this
wonderful, family event back for those who have been coming for so many
years and for those who haven’t yet had an opportunity to experience our
festival,” said Joyce Lucas, chair of the festival committee.
Last year the town of Watonga,
including the cheese factory, suffered extensive storm damage in August,
and the committee was forced to cancel the fall festival.
All Cheese Festival activities
will take place in downtown Watonga, and the parade will begin at 12:30
p.m. on Saturday. Festival admission is $5 for one or 2 days. Children
12 and under are admitted free.
