Remember when Kindersley served grilled cheese and music?

By Joan Janzen

Ten years ago the sound of music and the tantalizing aroma of grilled cheese sandwiches emanated from Kindersley Regional Park during a two-day festival. Grilledcheeseapolooza attracted over 1,000 people and five bands, including hip hop, heavy metal and hard rock. Entertainers came from Regina, Barrie - Ontario, Kelowna and Saskatoon to perform during the August 15-16 event.

Along with the music, paintings and art were on display, merchandise was available, hired security were on the grounds, and the barbecues were filled with grilled cheese sandwiches. A popular item on the festival’s menu was an ultimate grilled cheese, consisting of a hamburger patty placed between two tasty grilled cheese sandwiches.
