BROWN COUNTY, Wis-- Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach and Fulton County Chairman John Eaves have made a friendly wager for Sunday’s Packers vs Falcons game.
 
A statement released by Streckenbach’s office says the Brown County Executive will put up bratwurst from Maplewood Meats, beer from the historic Titletown Brewery and cheese products from Ron’s Cheese. Eaves will put up several cases of Coke from the world’s largest beverage maker; peach cobbler from Pascal’s Restaurant and chili dogs from The Varsity, the world’s largest drive-in restaurant.
 
“In the spirit of community pride I am putting my faith in the Green Bay Packers, the only publicly-owned franchise in all of sports,” said Streckenbach. “I want to showcase our area’s fine local products to show that not only do we have the best football team, but the finest tailgating staples for the Super Bowl.”
 
“I was at the Georgia Dome last Sunday when the Falcons rocked the Seahawks and that has pumped up everyone to take on the Packers,” said Eaves. “I’m thrilled we will get a chance to try out Green Bay’s delicious tailgating treats as they, of course, will be sending them our way after the Falcons victory.”
 
The executives also agreed to wear the opposing team’s jersey to their next county meeting should their chosen team lose.
