Hometown

This one is to all of my, as Julie would say, peeps who live or have lived in Valparaiso, IN. As we were watching Santa Claus 2 last night on one of the local channels, I heard "Valparaiso, Indiana" on one of the commercials. I stopped in my tracks, and focused back on the TV. If you're from Valparaiso, you might have guessed that it was an Orville Redenbacher popcorn commercial. I guess they showed an old commercial clip with Orville himself talking about his beginnings in Valparaiso, IN. That's it... Valpo is famous now! Millions will know that Orville Redenbacher Popcorn was founded in Valparaiso, IN. I'm sure they will flock back to the once quiet town to see where it all began, and meet Orville's descendants. Life will never be the same... Well, maybe that was a bit of an over exaggeration, but it was kind of cool to hear your hometown on a national television commercial!

In case you want to know more about Orville, here's a link to give you some more info. about his humble beginnings in Indiana. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orville_Redenbacher
