Our own Trooper (the bootblack you've also come to know on staff here at the Eagle as "Rich") competed in the Great Lakes Leather Alliance weekend of contests in Indianapolis, in the bootblack category August 22-24.

He competed against 2 very good contestants, including our other bootblack staffer, boy matt, and Tami. We are proud that Trooper brings home the prize as he is the new Great Lakes Bootblack 2008! He represents ICON well, our bar, and now our city, state and region.

At at time when leather bars around the country are removing their bootblack chairs, we are lucky to have a busy one -- with not 1, but 2 quality bootblacks. Remember to have your boots and leathers cared for by our guys! And good luck at IML XXXI, Trooper!
