Show Us How Much You Love Da Bears

As I was preparing to write this column, I received an e-mail informing of a column that had just been published on La Grange Patch. My editor, Beth Palmer, published a column to write in about why they are Packers fans living in this area, and to add their favorite Packers pictures. This column is the exact opposite. I want to show all those Packers fans that here in La Grange and La Grange Park we LOVE Da Bears!

I have plenty of Bears shirts, jerseys and sweatshirts but I'm always looking for new styles. I went to , 46 S. La Grange Road, and ended up with a really cool new T-shirt that has a rib cage on it with a Bears' head logo for the heart. Love it! The best news while visiting our local store? NO PACKERS GEAR IS SOLD THERE! If you're looking for some new Bears gear, Crosstown Sports has a nice selection.

Send La Grange Patch your photos, preferably by adding them to this story. (Click the green "Add" button under the fans' photo you see when you open this story.) Or, you can e-mail your photos to me at LKpatch@aol.com. Please also include a few lines of copy.

So, adapting the story to fit the Bears (thanks, Beth, for unknowingly helping me write this column) we’d like to know:

■Were you born in the Chicago area?

■How do you feel about the Packers? Honestly.

■What will be the outcome of Sunday's game? (Predict the final score, please.)

■Where will you watch the game?

Please include your full name and contact information and whether or not you would like you name included with your story. If you prefer to be anonymous just let me know.

Your photo and text will appear on La Grange Patch.

Let’s make sure there are more Bears photos added than Packers photos!
