Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Goodness
Over the Valentine’s weekend, the Small Arms Inspection Building was overrun with Mac & Cheese lovers for the 6th Annual Mac & Cheese Festival, North America’s largest festival of its kind. BY SUSAN GIBBINS
Over the Valentine’s weekend, the Small Arms Inspection Building was overrun with Mac & Cheese lovers for the 6th Annual Mac & Cheese Festival, North America’s largest festival of its kind. The Festival brought together the most skilled mac bosses under one roof to prepare signature dishes and present their ooey-gooey cheesy menus along with plenty of wine, cocktails, margaritas and craft beer. When patrons weren’t stuffing their faces, they could enjoy playing racing simulators, giant Jenga, a wide array of board games and retro games on Nintendo Classic, Super Nintendo and Playstation Classic. There was also a section for the kiddies to run and jump around. It was amazing to see so many mac and cheese creations, over 50 in all. Now that’s a way to celebrate Valentine’s. Can’t wait until next year!
