Cheese Days Ambassador

Ambassador Job Description Application form Hi there! My name is Brianna Ditzenberger and I was honored to have served as the 2012 Green County Cheese Days ambassador. In my role as ambassador, I had the pleasure of representing and promoting a festival that is near and dear to many people in the Green County community, across the nation, and overseas. After being crowned in November of 2011, I was on the road promoting the festival. Throughout the summer I attended over 30 events including presenting at local companies and organizations, highlighting the festival at a summer concert on the Square and interacting with many people as I rode in numerous parades and attended events like the Wisconsin State Fair Cheese and Butter Auction – also where I had my first taste of Green County’s award-winning Limburger cheese. During my reign, I worked with local and regional media. I had the opportunity to take part in a radio interviews with personalities from around Wisconsin and Illinois – including Orion Samuelson, which I have to admit was a dream come true for an agriculture enthusiast like myself! I also kept up the excitement for Cheese Days 2012 through social media. I helped manage and post items of interest to Facebook and Twitter; and new this year, I started a blog inviting readers to follow me on my travels and learn some fun and interesting facts about the festival, cheese making, and Green County along the way. If you’re interested in public relations, communications, or marketing, I encourage you to also ‘follow the cheesy brick road’ and apply to serve as the 2014 Cheese Days Ambassador! It’s a wonderful honor and a great experience where you meet interesting and amazing people along the way - while promoting a festival like none other.
