We packed up the legendary Maplewood Boden Bus and hit the road for a mini-adventure to Eau Claire, Wisconsin! Why, you ask? For a Cheese, Bread, and Beer Festival!
Our Executive Director’s family was repping their famous sheep’s cheese, and we were more than happy to be their biggest fans (and most enthusiastic taste testers).
The journey there was half the fun—complete with questionable GPS directions, high-quality bus banter, and a whole lot of snack talk. Once we arrived, we feasted like Midwestern royalty: fresh-baked bread, pretzels, more cheese than we knew what to do with (just kidding, we knew exactly what to do with it), mocktails, honey samples, chocolate pieces, and enough laughs to qualify as a cardio workout.
It was hot, it was beautiful, it was everything we needed. 10/10 would cheese again.
