Where were you when 9 W Cass first brightened the streets of Downtown Joliet with Gigantar's new lights? Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon and Jim Peterik, along with personalities like Skip Griparis and Eddie Volkman to name a few, were in attendance!

What an amazing weekend, with Saturday 9/26 being the lighting ceremony and then the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony the very next day (9/27).

Thank you to everyone for your continued support...together we are making history!
