Calling All Bears (or Packers) Super Fans: Patch Wants to Tell Your Story

Help Lemont Patch get ready for Sunday's big game by sharing your favorite fan photos, memories or tailgating recipes.

So I'm not sure if you heard, but apparently there's some important football game this weekend.

Now, I'm not an NFL aficionado by any means, but I do know that this Sunday's playoff game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers is shaping up to be bigger than the Super Bowl itself.

To help you get ready for the big game, we're providing special features all week highlighting the longtime Bear-Packer rivalry. However, we'd love to hear from YOU! We want pictures of Lemonters in blue and orange, stories of Packer fans stuck in enemy territory or even recipes for your favorite party dip.

Your local editor is becoming an official Super Fan this week, and I'd love some company. Send all story ideas or photos to amanda@patch.com or comment on this story.

Also, be sure to enter . All week we're asking residents of Woodridge and Lemont to guess the final score of Sunday's game. The reader who comes closest to the actual score will not only win bragging rights, but also a $100 gift card to Target. Pretty sweet, right?
