Need a holiday gift idea? Elk Grove selling own version of Monopoly
Posted December 17, 2009 10:00 pm
Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson has publicly said the village is not for sale.
But the mayor himself can be bought for $300.
That's if you are playing Elk Grove Village's version of Monopoly.
Elk GroveOpoly, as it is called, is currently being sold at village hall and the mayor's office for $20 to support the village Lioness Club's community efforts.
"We've sold about 400. We have 100 left," said Village Trustee Chris Prochno, a Lioness.
The village partnered with Pride Distributors of Farmington Hills, Mich., to create the custom board game.
Prochno and Johnson each have a square on the board, as do various community groups and businesses that contributed to the project.
