Sampling would be great! I didn't enter this year but just reading through the categories inspires me. Hmmmm maybe next year... Christy
I didn't do it this year either. But next year I will. I swear. I'll be your cheering team for you to enter too. Don't they give reviews/critiques on your cheese too, kinda like L.A. but for cheese? Megan
