Equally important to the games, are the entertaining stories from Packer fans that Rice has collected from as far back as 1919.  After the presentation, which will include memorabilia and photos, audience members can share their stories.

In 2010 after the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, Jim rediscovered his love of football history and the Green Bay Packers.  After completing his first book, Jim has been writing and speaking about Packer history ever since and currently has four books on the team.  He also has a website at packerscentury.com.

The program will be held in the Pinery Room of the Stevens Point branch and is free to the public and no registration is required. There will be prizes for the attendee wearing the best Packer outfit.
