The Heartland Partnership is hosting the second Project Pack the Place (sponsored by PNC) of the year as part of our community campaign called ‘I’m Stepping Up.’  It is at Wildlife Prairie State Park on July 25.   Tickets are available for $12 each for blocks of 10-24 or $10 each for blocks of 25 or more.  Ticket purchase includes admission to the park, a Pack the Place t-shirt, daily animal programs, and special in the park discounts! RSVP by July 16, 2010. 

You can reserve tickets online at www.wildlifeprairiestatepark.org, or by clicking here or calling 309-676-0998.  Participating business, groups and organizations will be recognized on signage at the park and on the I’m stepping up website.

As a supporter of The Heartland Partnership you are key to the success of Project Pack the Place.   The project is simple.  You purchase a block of tickets to the event (there are four designated throughout the year) and give the tickets to friends, coworkers or donate them to charity.  This initiative is aimed at increasing community vibrancy, generating enthusiasm for the great entertainment venues of our region and boosting our regional economy.  

Our friends at CEFCU and IBEW have already stepped up and reserved their tickets and we hope you will too.   More than 400 people participated in Project Pack the Place with the Peoria Chiefs on May 2^nd and we want to see more for this event.  This is about our community.  We hope to see you at all of the Project Pack the Place events!
