Man Donates Obama Signed Cheesehead Hat

Obama Visited Madison School Wednesday

Posted: 6:15 pm CST November 6, 2009

A Wisconsin man who got his cheesehead hat signed by President Barack Obama has decided to donate it to a museum rather than sell it on eBay.

Mansfield Neblett told the Associated Press on Friday in an e-mail that he decided to donate the triangular, bright yellow hat to the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Obama signed it during a visit Wednesday to a Madison middle school that Neblett's daughter attends.

The 46-year-old Neblett had said on Wednesday at Obama's speech that he was considering selling the distinctive cheesehead hat on eBay. The Liberian immigrant soon had second thoughts and said he decided instead to donate it.
