Red Alert! First-ever Grilled Cheese, Beer & Wine Festival!
They are covering the three major food groups there, aren't they?
The Cheese, Beer & Wine Festival will be held at the Carroll County Ag Center, featuring -- you guessed it -- "GREAT GRILLED CHEESE, BEER & WINE."
I like the way they call it the "inaugural festival" in the press release. Clearly they know they are on to something. ...
The event will be held March 6, from noon to 6 p.m. Believe it or not, they expect 2,000 attendees. That's a lot o' grilled cheeses.
Of course, that may be because there's live music as well as local beer and wine and gourmet grilled cheese.
Update: Apparently the date got changed or the original press release was in error. Thanks to Colonel Tamar below for the correction. The correct date is Oct. 23, but who can wait that long to drink beer and wine and eat a grilled cheese sandwich?

Unless there's more you-know-what in the weather, I'll be attending. I LOVE good grilled cheese! I wonder if they'll also have tomato soup?

But will there be gluten free grilled cheese? That would rock my world.

Umm, the link you posted does not go to the event website, but to the Carroll County Ag Center, which does NOT list the event in its Events Calendar.
Try this:
http://www.ilovegrilledcheese.com/events/
which sounds to me like they're just a private company renting space from the Ag Center. I've seen that company at a couple beer festivals before......
That was deliberate, although maybe not a good choice. I didn't think I should just drop the name without saying where the center was. Thanks for the proper link. EL

Looks like it's not in March, but in October http://www.ilovegrilledcheese.com/events/event.details.php?id=14
I contacted Carroll County Tourism and they were not aware of it being in March.

March may have been a better time for this festival. The Maryland Wine Festival and the Maryland Microbrew Festival are both held during the early fall in Carroll County. I wonder if a wine, beer and grilled cheese festival is too close to those other events. That said, I wish it the best.

I'm totally dissapointed. I was really looking forward to this. That's how snowed out and sick of winter I am!

I LOVE their grilled cheese! The truck was at Zoo Boo this year and my kids and I had a regular old grilled cheese on the tram. It was delicious. I wish I had tried their other varieties. I believe one even had crab dip in it. That one will go much better with wine/beer than with toddlers at the zoo!

Don't have enough money to buy a house? Worry not, because it's possible to get the business loans to resolve such kind of problems. Therefore get a small business loan to buy everything you want.
