First man on the moon to be commemorated in cheese
20 July 2009 marks 40 years since man first landed on the moon. Sarah Kauffman, the American ‘Cheese Lady’, is commemorating the event in true moon form – with cheese.
Kaufmann will carve a life-size astronaut out of 1,800 pounds of Wisconsin mammoth, white Cheddar. Appropriately, the astronaut will be holding a wheel of ‘Man on the Moon’ Swiss cheese.
She will begin carving at a pre-event celebration on 17 & 18 July in an Ohio supermarket. On 19 July, the astronaut carving will be moved to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
This special cheesy tribute to America’s man on the moon will be on display at the museum for two days, alongside the world’s largest Moon Pie, as part of its ‘Wapakoneta: First to the Moon Celebration’.
