ROCKFORD Letters
The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB) unveiled a permanent art installation at Davis Park, located at 320 South Wyman Street in downtown Rockford. Vibrant 4-foot tall aluminum “ROCKFORD” letters adorn the north lawn of the park, near the corner of S. Wyman and Chestnut Streets. The letters were created under the direction of the RACVB as part of the team’s commitment to placemaking and public beautification.
RACVB teamed up with Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront to offer a Rockford-themed Staycation photo contest for residents and visitors to participate in, with the winner receiving a prize package including a one-night hotel stay at the Embassy Suites valued at $179 and a $100 gift certificate to the hotel’s The Top restaurant.
