September 19-21 WEEKEND

LOTS TO DO, SEE, EAT, READ, RIDE, BUY AND LISTEN TO:

LIKE CREAM CHEESE? - WANT TO SEE THE LARGEST CHEESECAKE IN THE WORLD? - WANT TO MILK A COW?

THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO BE:  LOWVILLE

THE FOURTH ANNUAL CREAM CHEESE FESTIVAL IS SATURDAY starting at 11 am in the bustling downtown of the Lewis county seat.  I went to this event last year and really enjoyed it.  Frankly I didn’t want to be on my death bed, full of regrets, and say, “Damn I never saw the world’s largest cheesecake.”

This unique festival really brings the charm back to small town America.  Full of quirky and wacky contests that range from the infamous cream cheese toss to “Fill Your Friend’s Face” contest, the whole thing is tongue in cheek, or should I say cream cheese in cheek. I am hoping to get there myself and witness the sweet shenanigans.   For a list of the dazzling array of events check out the website listed above.

CLASSY CLASSICAL CONCERT
