The Steelers aren't the only ones feeling the effects of a loss in Super Bowl XLV. John Barrett, borough manager of the Borough of Baldwin, must now make good on a wager that he made with the president of the Village of Shorewood, Wis., over the outcome of Sunday's game. Naturally, Barrett picked the Steelers, while Shorewood was partial to the Packers.
After Barrett put up two dozen black-and-gold Smiley Cookies (like the ones found at the Eat'n Park on Route 51) on Feb. 2, Shorewood President Guy Johnson countered with a bag of specialty popcorn from Shorewood's Goody Gourmets on Feb. 4.
The Packers made a winner out of Johnson after topping the Steelers, 31-25, on Feb. 6. As such, Barrett (in cooperation with the Baldwin-Whitehall Patch) will now send the cookies to Johnson and his cohorts at the Shorewood Patch.
"Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and to the Village of Shorewood, Wis.," Barrett said. "Please enjoy the tasty treats from Eat'n Park.
"I also would like to thank everyone at Patch for coordinating the Super Bowl wager. I truly enjoyed the experience, which made my Super Bowl experience even more enjoyable."
"And while I am disappointed the Steelers didn't win the game, I am confident they will be right back in the fight next year!"
