The famous fence across from Lambeau Field, where the Green Bay Packers play (referred to as the "crown jewel of the NFL") is famous for it's annual community painting project.

This year, as last year the Packers had a contest to develop the years slogan, which is "Donald and the Pack: Back to the Big Dance".

"People love to get involved with this and it makes a lot of sense," said Bruce Kiel, creator of the fence slogan.  "Nothing fancy, it's a good time, just back the Pack."Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy agrees that the event is a unique way for fans to support their Green and Gold."

It's a great tradition, to me it kind of signifies and personifies, the unique nature of the Packers organization, and relationship we have with our neighbors and with the community and we're very supportive of it," said Murphy.

The slogan was inspired by Packers all-star wide receiver Donald Driver's win on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" this past spring.

Nice Day for a Drive in the Pool?

Today from WFTV News  in South Florida:


A south Florida driver, who said she swerved to avoid an accident, crashed through a fence and almost ended up in a family's pool.

The homeowner's son, Alex Ferrer, saw what happened and rushed over to help.

"Got her around to the passenger side, and yeah, we just calmed her down, sat her in a chair, gave her some water. She was fine. She just had some chest pains," Ferrer said.

A crane was brought in to hoist the SUV out of the family's backyard.

The woman was not injured.
