Cheese & Wine Festival

Nov 17, 2015
Preliminary information gives us both good and a little not so good news about the 39th Annual Watonga Cheese & Wine Festival.  Overall attendance (wrist-band sales) was down from the previous two years but the Rat Race did pull in more entries than last year. 
The Race the Rail event, held on the Saturday morning of the Cheese &Wine Festival, had a record number of participants. 
There were not a lot of vendors in the Festival Tent, but that just meant more money to spread around the street vendors.  The Armory was full, and the wine tasting area was busy most of both days of the festival.  The art show may not be continued in future festivals, but that is still under discussion. It was a beautiful weekend weather-wise, and overall, it was a good festival even if it was a little smaller than past years.
