April 21

Today was the First Annual Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Festival out in Mineral Point.  Rick, Anne, Eileen, and I all went out to volunteer.  Originally the organizers had hoped for perhaps a couple of hundred people tops.  There ending up being over sixty contestants in eight categories (amateur and professional) and nearly 600 visitors from at least six states.  The best part of the whole day was watching everyone from babies to seniors just having plain, old fashioned fun.  Eating, dancing, talking, laughing, it was a very wonderful day....  Mary
