The Cheese Chalet is awesome! So many quirky things there. It has the usual tourist attractions, like cheese, cheese hats, cheese magnets, etc. but you can see Sissy the Cow, a huge fiberglass cow outside; the cheese sign with a mouse climbing up the pole, and it has a sign out front that says how many miles you are from different cities, ranging from Madison to Tokyo. Has a nice kitschy feel to it.
Sissy the Cow's buddy, the Pink Elephant, is just down the street.

Pinkie the Elephant is right off the freeway.
[John, 03/19/2019]Pinkie has an ID tag affixed to his right front leg.
