Sandra Barbour, of Lemont, will be sent a $100 Target gift card for correctly guessing the final score of Sunday's NFC championship.
More than 80 Patch readers from Lemont and Woodridge entered our "Predict the Score" contest for Sunday's Bears-Packers showdown, but only one correctly guessed the game's final score. Sandra Barbour, a longtime resident of Lemont, accurately predicted Sunday morning that the Chicago Bears would lose to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 21-14 in the NFC championship game. As a reward, she will receive a $100 gift card to Target, courtesy of Lemont Patch and Woodridge Patch. In making her prediction, Barbour said she went with her head, not her heart. "I'm a Bears fan, but I knew they weren't going to win so I had to bet on the Packers," Barbour said. Despite being disappointed over the loss, Barbour said she was excited when she realized…

Woodridge resident Frank Klemenswicz wears a Packers hat every day -- and has a Packers bar in his basement.
Frank Klemenswicz roots for his football team behind enemy lines. Klemenswicz is a Green Bay Packers fan in the midst of Chicago Bears Country. His family’s allegiances are split. He and his son, Jeff, are die-hard Packers fans. His daughter, Brittney, his wife, Robyn, and his father, Frank Klemenswicz, Sr., are all Bears fans. The family dog, Bella, wears a Packers jersey around the house (Brittney’s dog wears a Bears jersey.) Frank Klemenswicz, Jr., will be cheering for the Packers on Sunday at his Woodridge home, in the Packers bar he built in his basement. His 93-year-old father will join him in a Bears jersey. Klemenswicz's confident the Packers will win. “(The Packers) are going to hammer (the Bears),” he said. “It’s going to be 34-…
Mike Szczepaniak's family has had season tickets since 1975.
Mike Szczepaniak hasn't missed many Chicago Bears games in the past four decades. His father purchased two season tickets in 1975. The pair would arrive to Soldier Field four hours before kickoff to barbecue and tailgate. "I didn't miss many games growing up," Szczepaniak said. He's passed that tradition on to his two sons: Mitch, 27, and Dustin, 24. His two sons will be at the game on Sunday. "They're very excited," Szczepaniak said. "My oldest told me he hasn't slept all week just thinking about it." The family considered selling the tickets. "We imagined how much money we'd make," he said. But they quickly decided the experience would be worth more. Szczepaniak said he expects the Bears will win Sunday by 10 points. "The experts are not…

We want to hear from Woodridge fans leading to Sunday's match-up.
Are you a Bears die-hard? Living the Packers life in the midst of Bear country? Is your family split down the middle? We want to tell your stories leading up to Sunday's match-up. If you or someone you know would like to be featured on the site, just e-mail melissat@patch.com. You can also send photos from games, tailgates, home watching parties or just you in your gear. You have to live in Woodridge (don't worry, if you're from a neighboring town, I'm sure they'd love to hear from you, too!). I'll post content as I receive it throughout the week. I really hope to hear from you! By the way, if you haven't seen our $100 competition with Lemont Patch, you should check it. Guess the score of the game or come closest and you get $100 from …
Woodridge Patch and Lemont Patch are asking readers to guess the final score for Sunday's Bears vs. Packers game.
Thank you all for your votes! We will announce the winner tomorrow morning. --- The Bears will host the Packers in the NFC title game Sunday at Soldier Field in a rivalry that dates back to 1921 when the Chicago Staleys beat the Packers 20-0 at Cubs Park. But you didn’t need to read this article from Chicagobears.com to know that, did you? And what’s a 90-year rivalry (complete with 181 regular-season games and only one prior playoff contest) without a contest into which YOU can sink your teeth? That’s exactly what we thought, too. So, the Patch reader from Lemont or Woodridge who comes closest to guessing the correct Bears vs. Packers score on Sunday’s game wins a $100 Target gift card. • If you’re a Woodridge Patch reader, simply comment…
