COLBY, WI (WSAU-WAOW) â As the Colby Cheese Days event wraps up, residents are sharing their thoughts on the possibility of Colby becoming Wisconsinâs official cheese.
Many residents said that it only makes sense for Colby to be the state cheese. Some didnât really have an opinion, as they couldnât pick a favorite cheese.
One resident says that history speaks for itself.
âI think it should be, yes, because thatâs where it was started so that would be good. I guess itâs all over now everybody makes it, but thatâs where it originated so,â said Franklin Gustafson, a Colby resident. âAs far as eating goes, I like all cheese, but Colby is good.â
