Pontiac Proud to be Site of “Refreshingly Road Trippin’ with Lipton” June 8-10

May 24, 2018 By Editor Gina

The Lipton company has harnessed the allure of the American Road Trip for its “Refreshingly Road Trippin’ with Lipton” events celebrating the weekend of National Iced Tea Day, June 8-10.

Pontiac, Illinois is proud to play a part in this first-ever event. According to a press release from Lipton, “The three-day experience will also feature memorable activities, such as the revealing of the town’s first Lipton mural and renaming the Route 66 highway “The Lipton Highway” for the weekend. The classic Route 66 experience will occur in the charming town of Pontiac, IL, located near the start of Route 66 and home to the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame and Museum.”
