Location: Fond du Lac, WI

Join us for a chaotic, family-friendly event celebrating the "squeak" of fresh cheese curds and the glory of melted cheese! Fond du Lac's steepest hill will be transformed with a (clean) layer of thick, melted cheese sauce, where contestants will navigate it in homemade sleds.

Key Events:

  • The Big Curd Slope: Teams will build sleds shaped like giant crackers or cheese wedges to slide down a "fondue-sloped" hill. Prizes will be awarded for speed, best costume, and the "most dramatic cheesy wipeout."

  • The 'Squeak-Off' Competition: A blindfolded tasting competition where participants must identify the freshest curd by the pitch of its squeak against their teeth.

  • Polka & Prosecco-Gouda Lounge: A high-end, low-brow lounge serving fine aged cheddar paired exclusively with neon-orange cheese spray and Wisconsin beer.

  • The World's Largest Fondue Fountain: A 10-foot fountain pouring warm Emmentaler, surrounded by giant pretzel rods.

  • Miss Cheesehead Pageant: Contestants will answer cheese-related trivia and model wearable cheese fashion.

Event Tagline:

"Get Sticky, Get Squeaky, Get Wisconsin!"

Why It Landed This Way

The event is highly engaging and creatively themed, appealing to local culture and cheese enthusiasts. It features unique competitions and activities that foster community involvement. However, some elements may feel overly whimsical, which could detract from broader public appeal. Overall, it effectively highlights local pride and cheese heritage.

What Players Should Expect

This event gives the business its strongest bump during the first 24 hours, followed by a smaller lingering boost for the next few days.
