I was thinking, how could Rockford manufacturers participate in the 2016 Olympics if Chicago wins the bid the Friday? Some things came to mind, but I’m sure there are many others:
They need hammers to build all the new dorms and stadiums….Estwing!
Some nice souveniers from Heartland Wooden Boxes & the Sock Monkey!
Don’t forget the cylinders to lift up all the building cranes…Rockford Linear is here!
For some snacks…how about Chicklets, Old Salty and Mrs. Fischer’s Potato Chips!
For a great sandwich…get the Uncle Nick’s gyros…best in the whole world!

Good luck, Chicago, on Friday!!

I look forward to seeing a similar program with the new… CZAR
