Important! A Wisconsin cheese wins the World Championship Cheese Contest

When Green County Cheese Days rolls around in September, the festival will have a little extra kick, more history and a very popular cheese.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, a cheese made in the U.S. has won the World Championship Cheese Contest. And it was made in the city that celebrates cheese like no other.

A smear ripened hard cheese produced in Monroe by Fitchburg-based Emmi Roth USA was named best in show Wednesday out of a record 2,955 entries from around the globe. A crowd of more than 500 people erupted in cheers as the announcement was made.

Proper noun

Sconnie

1. (affectionate) A person or people from the U.S. state of Wisconsin.

 The Etymology!  Where does this word come from!?!  If we look through studies of ancient cave carvings we can see that originally this word came from an affectionate form of Wisconsinite; Wisconnie; which as its root appears our Wis-SCONNIE! 

Mystery solved!

If you want to see Sconnies in action, here is a clip...

Now for a deeper answer, I'd have to sit back and think about it..... which I may just do.
