People were stepping up this weekend and helping Pack the Place!!!!  The first of four events designed to pack the seats at various entertainment venues this year was Sunday, May 2nd with the Peoria Chiefs.  It was a success with over 400 Pack the Place participants.  Project Pack the Place is a part of the I'm Stepping Up campaign aimed at getting people to step up and help move this region forward.

A special thank you goes out to the following participants for stepping up and helping Pack the Place with the Peoria Chiefs.
