I’ve seen some fascinating things on the road. Kissing pigs really got my attention. You can read about Slovacek’s in the December issue of NACS Magazine. Slovacek’s has been making great sausage since 1957.  I can say great because they will sell 6 millions pounds by year’s end.

This is one of the few stores where you can find Czechoslovakian beer and wine. You just have to visit this store to believe it.  Owner Tim Rabroker, left and store manager Ray Rabroker have hard to find Czech beers. Look closely. The exterior of the beer cave is adorned with 5000 beer caps from around the world. There’s something for every member of the family .

There’s so much more to this story. Catch the rest of it in the current issue of NACS Magazine (if you’re in the  industry and not a subscriber you’re missing great information).
