ACS 2008: Awards ceremony

[gordonzola]

Because of the travel time and expense of the American Cheese Society conference being held in Chicago, a lot of cheese folks I know didn’t get to make it this year. One, Dee Harley of Harley Farms, asked me to pick up any awards she might win. I agreed, not knowing that the ceremony this year was going to be held in an actual theater and that for the rest of the conference people would seek me out to congratulate me on “my” awards. Ha!

I guest-blogged about it on the Harley Farms website so go read about it there

I had barely gotten into my seat when the Harley Farms name was first called and I got to step onto the stage from which stars such as Peter Falk, Henry Fonda, Uta Hagen, Katharine Hepburn, Dustin Hoffman, Lena Horne, James Earl Jones, Vivien Leigh, Myrna Loy, Joe Mantegna, Geraldine Page, Tyrone Power, Basil Rathbone, Jessica Tandy and Studs Terkel performed. Third place for Fresh, Unripened Goat Cheese for the Harley Ricotta. And tell Dee congrats while you're over there!

Since the blog isn’t really connected to her website, you can find the main Harley Farms site here

Oh look, bonus picture of me looking embarrassed;


Here’s her big first place winning cheese. I couldn’t get to it before folks started eating off it.

My eyes skimmed the entry at first and I was like "Holy crap! Lena Horne, Dustin Hoffman, and James Earl Jones were at the ACS awards? Who knew cheese is so popular with the stars?"
