opening night at Lambeau vs. the Vikings

The Packers were kind enough to let us have a display space on Lambeau property to help Special Olympics raise money for their athletes. To be clear, Kwik Trip commissioned this bike, 2 Wheel Films is building it and transporting it to the events, and Special Olympics is providing the volunteers at the display events to help sell raffle tickets. All proceeds go to help fund Special Olympics events We have space at three games this year. The first one was opening night against the Vikings. We were in front of the Resch Center, right across from a practice field. Quite an experience! With a 6:00 CST start time, we showed up at about 2:00. The crowd was growing fast and the festivities had already started. Great people across the board. I was surprised at how many Vikings fans were there. Many of them purchased raffle tickets. I guess Vikings fans are human after all. I saw license plates from Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and a few from Ontario. It just goes to show how popular the Packers are. All those out-of-state plates also showed me that here in the Midwest, once you get beyond the Vikings and the Packers, especially to the west, you really need to go a long ways to find another pro team.

Special Olympics puts on an event every summer in which Special Olympics athletes can participate. The smiles this puts on faces is something special to behold. All of the proceeds from the raffle tickets that are sold against this bike will go to support the Special Olympics chapter here in Wisconsin and their efforts in putting on this annual event here in Wisconsin.
