Family travelers with an equal love of travel and cheese can now get paid to discover the Midwest’s best cheese eateries. AmericInn by Wyndham celebrates America’s cheese devotion with a search for the “cheesiest” family in America. In exchange for $15,000, the hotel chain will name one family to hit the road through the Midwest and craft social media content for the brand, with cheese puns as the star attraction.
The winning family will venture through Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, experiencing a wide range of cheese experiences, from Wisconsin-style cheese curds to an Iowan dairy farm to meet cows. The Minnesota State Fair is the finale.
