CHEESE DAYS IS Cheese Days 1986 began on Friday, September 19, with the cheese Days Ball at Turner Hall, where the Prince Benjamin Burgi and Princess Brandi Spidahl were introduced. A carnival in the parking lot just off the square was held providing enjoyment to the younger generation. The Friday night home football game, dubbed the Cheese Bowl , brought the Cheese Days co-queens Michelle Kundert and Wendi Gelbach, both 1984 graduates of MHS, out to see the victory over Sauk Prairie. Many activities were also held on Saturday to keep Monroe residents and tourists busy. The Cheese Days Chase, biking tours, a cow-milking contest, the children's costume parade, and the art fair at the MAAC provided different events for all to enjoy. Although rain showers dotted Monroe during the day, the street dance with music from the Horsefeathers was a success. The dance was geared for the younger generation. The cheese Days Chase was held on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Matt Inman is just one of the many people who participated in the 5K race, which remained in town. The parade presented all the MHS royalty to parade enthusiasts. Julie Digman waves as the Green County Dairy Queen. Other royalty in the parade were Laurie Wuethrich, Monroe Dairy Queen; Dianna Lauper, Browntown Dairy Queen; and Angie Stingley, Green County Pork Princess. Kiel Gobeli watches the parade across the street from East School. The parade lasted for two and one-half hours. Yvonne Klassy, Mark Bailey, and John Schumacher march to On Wisconsin . By the time the band hit the West Side of the Square, the sun came out, making the afternoon quite warm. 10 CHEESE DAYS

Sunday's parade, with over 200 entries, was a hit with the royalty, clowns, special groups, and the many marching bands, including MHS's own marching band at the beginning. Offering a concert to the parade enthusiasts was the UW-Platteville Marching Band which included a few graduates of MHS. Along with all of these festivities were the many booths surrounding the whole downtown area of Monroe. Dairy foods, cheese curds, cream puffs, and many souvenirs were sold also. Cheese Days 1986 was again a huge success and will continue its success in years to come.
