In case you haven't heard, I have news on Watonga Cheese.  Last week, exactly on the third anniversary of the storm that took out our very own Watonga Cheese Factory, the new Watonga Cheese Factory (in Perryton, TX) passed their final inspection.  They received their first milk shipment on Monday and began making cheese!  I've been in touch with Brandi Cowan and she is certain that we will not only have their cheese for the Watonga Cheese Festival, but that we should have it available very soon at their local retail outlet, located in Jacky's Lawn & Lube.

So if your taste buds have not been satisfied for 3 years,  you won't have much longer to wait until they are.

OK, are you looking for the notification about the August entertainment night and wondering if you missed it?  Well fear not, you haven't missed anything.  August is such a busy month that the Cheese Festival Entertainment Committee decided to skip it and are busily planning an evening for September.  Between the Lions Golf Tournament,  the Main Street Invitational Golf Tournament last week, and the Blaine County Free Fair this week, they figured you all have plenty to keep you busy for a few weeks.  I hope you were able to enjoy some of these events and are planning on a great time at the fair, I know I am!  Keep watching for information on the September entertainment - I have a feeling it will be a good one!

The Cheese Festival is only 6 weeks away, can you believe that?  Many of our wonderful sponsors have begun sending in donations to help support this event and we could not be more thankful.  Those donations help offset the numerous costs of this great festival including tents and port-a-potties, entertainment, advertising and much more.  It allows us to market the festival (and Watonga) to a wider base of people, giving us the opportunity to introduce our great community to them.  We hope that you too can help support this event in whatever way best suits you.  Whether it is volunteering, spreading the word or just attending, we hope you embrace that which we are known for and help make it the best it can be.  Also, you will be seeing the names of our sponsors around the festival and in printed publications.  Please remember how those businesses give back to their community and return the favor.  Remember that One Hand Washes the Other.
