The Cheese Knees
Looking for a cheap vacation destination? Look no further than Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., which will host the 15th Biennial United States Championship Cheese Contest from March 17 to 19. The event is free and open to the public, including tasty samples of the more than 1,300 cheeses and butters entered by dairy masters from across the nation. If an event touted as the "Super Bowl of dairy product contests" doesn't scream road trip, I don't know what does.
If you'd rather stay closer to home, Prairie Grass Cafe is highlighting local artisanal cheese throughout March. Featured dishes include pizza with arugula pesto; prosciutto and Pleasant Ridge Reserve cheese; and chopped romaine and Three Sisters Garden pea shoots with apple, Capriole Farm goat cheese and crispy shallots.

I think the 15th BUSCCC is the best reason I've ever heard of the visit Wisconsin. Don't get me worng, the rolling, green hills in the summer are spectacular. The snowboarding in the winter is as good as any you'll find in the midwest, but cheese is definatley the main reason to visit the fair state of Wisconsin. Plus it's free! Good call Mandy.
