PACKERS FANS SNAP UP SPECIAL TEAM ROSARIES
      GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (CWN) - Fans of the American football team, the Green Bay Packers, are looking for heavenly help to ensure that their team repeats as Super Bowl champions this year.

      Judy Strong of Crafter's Market in West Allis, Wisconsin said she's been selling out of Packers rosaries and her supplier can't keep up with the demand. Strong said she received 500 calls on Sunday from people looking for the rosaries. Some people said they've found it to be an effective means of getting their children to pray, she said.

      Demand for the rosaries peaked after a story on the Packer rosary inventor, Karla Sponder, appeared in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Strong said she has received calls from as far away as California and Pennsylvania.
