MADISON — Crystal Siemers-Peterman, 70th Alice in Dairyland, and cheesemonger Liz Dueland, co-founder of Culture with Madison Cheesemonger, will create a six-foot cheeseboard during the Good Day Market at the Madison Masonic Center in downtown Madison, Saturday, Dec. 9, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Dueland will demonstrate tips to create an elegant cheese and charcuterie board for the holidays.
