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.
