Packerpalooza

Every year my favorite bar, Will's Northwoods Inn puts on an event called Packerpalooza.  This year was its 3rd year.  It actually started out 4 years ago as Favre Fest, but since he went to the Jets and so on, they renamed it more appropriately, Packerpalooza.  They do it every year right around draft time and its nice to see everyone that we're friends with outside of the season.  Will's treats it like a game and does its usual dogs/burgers out back and 'halftime' raffle.

The first year they brough in William Henderson and Gilbert Brown.  The special guests all pose for pics and bring stuff that you can purchase and sign.  William was very nice, but I think Gilbert was a little ticked cause he was eating at the time.  And lemme tell ya, you don't want to interrupt a meal from a guy the size of Gilbert.  We have an autographed pic from William and one from Gilbert.  The second year they brough in Ahman Green and Mark Chmura.  We got mini helmet signed from Ahman.  This year they brought in Leroy Butler, inventor of the Lambeau Leap. 

We got a pic taken with him.  For a few games a year and for this event Frank Winters comes.  He lives in the city now and.  They've designated a table to him, which just so happens to be right next to ours.  He's always very nice and signs plenty of things for people and poses for a lot of pics. 
My friend Nate has a plastic Packer hard hat that has all the signatures of everyone mentioned above.  Its a great idea that I wish I would've thought of.  Its just awesome that all these players come into Chicago and we fans can come and appreciate it.
