Chico Cheeseheads!

Who would have thought green and yellow would become the unofficial colors of Chico. Thanks to Aaron Rodgers, Greenbay Packers quarterback set to play in Superbowl XLV, his hometown has been placed on the map. No matter a win or loss, Rodgers will be strongly supported be the fans in Chico. The town has been draped in decorations of green and yellow. Over the last week I have been scouring the town for the prideful pictures and video. If Rodgers lead the Packers to a win, the colors might become the official colors of Chico.
