Popcorn
PECATONICA RIVER POPCORN HISTORY
In 1983, Rural Route 1 Popcorn was approached by the U.S. Grant District Boy Scouts of America to produce pails of popcorn to be used as a fundraiser. Pecatonica River Popcorn was established as an exclusive brand solely for scouting use.
FAMOUS PR POPCORN TASTING KIT

The purpose of a tasting session is to have each Scout try 1-2 kernels of each flavor. Let the Scouts vote on their favorites - have fun with it! Boost your sales with a tasting session.
