The fence directly across Lombardi Avenue in Green Bay is each year dedicated and painted in a special theme for the Green Bay Packers.

This year’s theme, which was selected from those submitted as part of a contest mixes Packers longtime receiver Donald Driver, his participation on “Dancing with the Stars,” and the Packers hope of getting to the Super Bowl.

This year’s theme: ”Donald and the Pack: Back to the Big Dance.”

Cute. Catchy. Very true to everyone’s mindset right now.

It’s certainly a slogan that has legs – In fact, we’re hoping its relevancy is just as important in January and February as it is today.

For a complete look and a video of the painting of the fence, we take you to the WBAY website …

Enjoy.

The slogan was inspired by Donald Driver’s win on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” this past spring.
