I live like 3 blocks from the Spinach Can Collectables lol. Lived here all 17 years of my life and have enjoyed it for the most part. I'm even in walking distance of the bank of the Mississippi river. :) Popeye picnic is always fun too.

I use to live in Evansville Illinois & went to the picnic every year. Every year my son & I always went to Chester Illinois to take our picture with Popeye, after my son's grandmother family reunion. It was a great tradition.

In the UK we have chain of hamburger restaurants named after Wimpy! Ironic really as your Popeye's isn't named after that Popeye. :D

The Superman celebration is a trip I really want to take, preferably next year. Scotty, you sold me on making a pit stop to Chester. That is, after I visit the Pop Culture Network store!

I'm so jealous, What did you buy there? Did you get an autograph? Were there guests such as the cartoonist for Popeye?
