Here in Wisconsin, we lower a giant cheese!

2. I'm a Cheesehead!

I was born in Neenah-Menasha before my family moved to the east coast. I've been a Wisconsin cheddar cheese fan forever and the Packers will always be my team.

Having lived in New York City for decades, the ball drop is a HUGE nothingburger. The crowds are ridiculously large (estimated 1,000,000 tonight!), there aren't any port-a-potties and alcohol etc. are prohibited. Why put one's self through that?!

New Year's Eve is really amateur night on steroids.

3. We once lived

In a town that had a possom drop at midnight. A live one til some were concerned about the poor possom. They then used a dead one.

4. Sounds like fun! While not a cheesehead, we in NYS do have a dairy & cheese industry...

Like NY Cheddar! Yum.
(Extra sharp for me, please 😄 )
(with added garlic, or caramelized onions? Even better! 😄 🥰 )

I appreciate wonderful cheeses whereever they are made! 👍

I think I read that somewhere.
But I could have imagined it! 😜
