American Cheese Festival Day 1

<p>Wednesday:<br>
I am staying with another cheesemaker, Jean Koons. She has a goat dairy in Sydney, Me. She has friends that live just outside of Madison. We headed into the city yesterday morning to catch a bus for the conference tours. After several trips around the one way square that surrounds the capitol building, we ended up on the right road, but locked in bumper to bumper traffic. We arrived in time to see the last bus pulling out of the road leading to the convention center. All was not lost though! We were given the itinerary, and caught up with the tour in time for the picnic lunch and tour of the Mont Bleu Dairy aging cave. The dairy makes mostly cloth bound cheddars and alpine cheeses. Some of the cheddar wheels are 40 pounds!
