WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Most people know the phrase “as American as apple pie,” but here in the Badger State, it's as “Wisconsin as" cheese, cherries, and cranberries.

At the Wisconsin Products Pavilion at the Wisconsin State Fair, you can find them all and so much more as a way of showcasing Wisconsin products.

One of the most popular stands in the pavilion is the grilled cheese area. Staff and volunteers griddle up thousands per day to sell to hungry customers.

The stand, run through the State Fair Dairy Promotions Board, is also a chance to share the story of Wisconsin dairy with fairgoers.

Lexi Gegare helps run the stand and said it means a lot to get to spread the word about cheese.

“Not only are we selling lots of grilled cheese, but it's also a good way to educate our fairgoers about the industry here in Wisconsin,” said Gegare.

The pavilion features both foods for sale as well as pre-packaged and canned foods.
