What a cool way to celebrate Say Cheese Day! Check out what they did in Ellsworth!
(the following is an excerpt from an article in the newspaper):
"What better way to highlight our library and Say Cheese in Ellsworth than by having kids create cheese sculptures using our very own Ellsworth cheese curds! As a start to our program, we introduced the book Oggie Cooder to the attendees -- a book about a unique young boy who “charves” cheese into the shapes of states. (Charving is cheese carving!) After reading an excerpt introducing the kids to Oggie’s creative talent, they were then challenged to create their own art. Our group was a very imaginative one, coming up with many different ways to use slices of cheese, cheese curds, and toothpicks. At the end of the event, each child received their very own copy of the book to take home."
