Viewfinder: Packers Fans Flock to Village Inn's Super Bowl Tailgate Party

The North Hudson bar is a very popular destination to watch Packers football, but today is special.

The in North Hudson has a giant "G" Packers logo on the outside, so you knew owner Leigh Halvorson was going to do something special for the team's appearance in Super Bowl XLV. 

Right away when you pull into the parking lot you know something's going on. There's a huge snow bank painted with the image of the Lombardi Trophy, and two tents set up just outside the main entrance.

Under one tent, bartender Jethro Lund is selling Girl Scout cookies, beer, brats and other goodies. In the other tent, there's a TV set up with several chairs. Even though the temperature is down near 30 degrees, plenty of people are standing on the patio and in the tent. Some are eating brats, some are smoking, some are just chatting.
