GREEN COUNTY CHEESE DAYS ANNOUNCES 2008 AMBASSADOR
Green County Cheese Days is pleased to announce
that Charity Rood has been selected to serve as the ambassador
for the 2008 festival.
Ms. Rood, the daughter of Gene Rood and Tammie
Wilde and the granddaughter of Robert and Lillian Rood, is
a native of Monroe. She graduated from Monroe High School
in 2000, where she was involved in student government, as
well as sports including softball, basketball, and swim team.
Ms. Rood attended UW Stevens Point where she
majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. She recently
graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport,
Iowa, with a degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
The inspiration for her chosen profession was resulted from
hearing local chiropractor Dr. Bill Spontak speak at a health
fair back when she was in high school. She is currently completing
a post-graduate internship at Waunakee Chiropractic, and will
receive her license next year following the state board exam.
In addition to looking forward to developing
personal relationships with patients and using her training
as a chiropractor to help them feel better, Ms. Rood is also
looking forward to using her people skills people to invite
people to attend Cheese Days. Her history of wanting to be
involved with the festival dates back to running for Cheese
Days princess two times. She didn't get the title, but she
was awarded "Miss Congeniality."
"This is a great chance to promote a great
area, and I want to get people excited to come to Monroe,"
says Ms. Rood, who is looking forward to riding the float
in parades next summer. As Green County Cheese Days ambassador,
Ms. Rood will make many appearances to promote the event,
and will serve as spokesperson for the
festival in radio and tv commercials. However, the part that
puts a big smile on her face is the thought of getting the
Cheese Days visitors onto the dance floor in front of the
stage. As a former waitress and bartender at Turner Hall of
Monroe, she did the "Sunday Polka thing" every week,
and learned all the dances.
Ms. Rood will officially begin her ambassador
duties when she is crowned during Swiss Fest, hosted by the
Monroe Swiss Singers at Turner Hall of Monroe on Sunday, November
4 at 2 p.m.
