Kiss and “American Pickers”: A star-studded night for local couple
By Kathryn Rem
It was a double bill of celebrities Monday (July 18) for Beth and Dave Packer of Virden.
As they were sitting in Bennigan’s having cocktails before the Kiss concert at the Prairie Capital Convention Center, they recognized Frank Fritz, one of the hosts of the TV show “American Pickers.”
“He drove four hours from Iowa to come to the show. We talked to him for a short time, had a picture taken with him (above, Fritz in center) and then he was off after people started to recognize who he was,” the Packers wrote.
On the History Channel’s “American Pickers,” Fritz hits the back roads of America, earning his living by restoring forgotten relics to former glory.
And speaking of glory, the Packers report they could have rock ‘n’ rolled all night with Kiss, one of their favorite bands.
