Attendees Are Cheesed Off After Festival Runs Out Of Food

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. The organizers of The Big Cheese Festival in Brighton, England, might have bitten off more than they can chew. The festival, which featured, quote, "local bands and cheesy DJs" came under fire after - guess what? - they ran out of cheese. The organizers apologized, saying that bad weather was to blame.
