Discover the history of the Green Bay Packers through the eyes of the extraordinary women who supported, sustained, and shaped the 1960s Lombardi dynasty.
In this special presentation hosted by the Appleton Historical Society in partnership with the Appleton Public Library, authors Laura Kostelnik Biskupic and Katherine Biskupic share heartwarming, funny, and deeply personal stories from their book Lambeau Ladies: The Boundary-Breaking Women Behind Lombardi’s Packers. From Vince Lombardi’s famous "happy wives" philosophy and Flo Bettis’s secret apartment gatherings to original Super Bowl championship jewelry and rare photos, this presentation highlights the incredible sisterhood and strength of the women behind Title Town.
The authors are joined on stage by former Packer wife Peggy Kostelnik, widow of Hall of Famer Ron Kostelnik, to reflect on draft day surprises, life in Green Bay during the Civil Rights era, and the lasting legacy of the Packer family.
