CHEESIEST LOCAL ATTRACTION
1st Place: Rock-n-Roll Hardee’s
2nd Place: Paul Bunyan Logging Camp
3rd Place: The Heckel’s Bull
Of course Rock-n-Roll Hardee’s is the winner of this category! Have you seen all the cheese they pile on the Thickburger? But seriously, folks, the Rock-n-Roll Hardee’s is marvelously cheesy – it’s like our own little po’ man’s Hard Rock Café. You can admire a plaque commemorating the Rolling Stones before they have to roll you out of there! Second place Paul Bunyan Logging Camp is actually a nice place to learn about the logging history of Eau Claire, if you are a museum nerd. If not, it will put you to sleep like a log. You’ll be sawing wood all afternoon long! And in third place, joining Paul Bunyan and Babe on the big list of local giant fiberglass statuary, is the Heckel’s bull out on Highway 53. You might want to pull up and get a picture with the big bull. You should, that is, if you want to be heckled by the locals driving by. Ha-HA! How much more cheese can you handle? – Eric Rasmussen
