In photos: The gooey glory of Wisconsin Cheese Curdfest

Though cheese didn’t disappoint, organizers seemed vastly unprepared for event

Madison community members flocked Wisconsin Cheese Curdfest at the spacious Breese Stevens Field Sunday afternoon to experience the taste-testing of delicious curds of all forms.

Considering the underwhelming amount of cheese curd vendors, there was still a wide variety of unique options. This included the desirable and classic “squeaky” curds, greasy deep-fried curds, bacon queso mac n’ cheese curds and even spicy chili Thai curds.

Other miscellaneous dishes involving curds, such as the Canadian-styled poutine, were also served at the event.

The spicy chili Thai curds from The Rigby gave the perfect tang to warm gooey cheese.

What would a festival be without a petting zoo? This attraction was a popular destination for the many families in attendance.

The event also hosted live music and carnival games and contests for individuals of all ages.
