    AmericInn by Wyndham is celebrating America's cheese devotion with a search for the "Cheesiest" Family in America. In exchange for a $15,000 payday, the hotel chain seeks a cheese-loving family to hit the road through the Midwest, crafting social media content for the brand – where cheese puns are the star attraction.


    "No matter where you live, nothing beats the bonding power of cheese. And when it comes to the best, there's no doubt the Midwest reigns supreme. Just like cheese brings families together over delicious meals, AmericInn connects guests with unforgettable travel experiences across America's heartland and beyond. Our first ever Cheesiest Family will fully immerse themselves in the best cheese-scapades, experiencing AmericInn signature hospitality and sharing their memorable adventures on social media."
