Cheese Lovers Day

In Wisconsin, this is practically a religious observance. The state produces 3.4 billion pounds of cheese per year. Wisconsin has a Master Cheesemaker program that takes 13 years to complete, which is longer than medical school. In Green Bay, fans wear foam cheese hats to Packers games without irony. A cheesehead is not an insult in Wisconsin. It is a crown.
