Fort Wayne is a city for dreamers. Young folks and kiddies that's our theme. All geared towards the tourists,of course, not our children, to say what a great city we have here !! The 7' 4" tennis shoes arrived just in time to test them out on our young folks during spring break. No chocolate Jesus here.
The giant sneakers will pitter patter their way into our big Allen County Public Library and pose for awhile. By summertime the tennies will have made their way to our big park, Headwaters in time for the summer festivals. Of course the high tops could not miss an opportunity to show up on the basketball court, Spiece Fieldhouse await them for the big American Youth Basketball Tour.

I posted about the sport shoes back in January parts of the post is below:
Sport shoes will be lining the streets of Fort Wayne, Indiana for part of the summer 2007. Fort Wayne/Allen County Convention and Visitors Bureau is selling their "Room for Dreams" logo with a "Team Dreams' theme fundraising event that involves shoes.
For the second straight year, the American Youth Basketball Tour and the United States Specialty Sports Association will hold their championships on various days from July 5 to July 30 at Spiece Fieldhouse and about 10 other area gymnasiums. The two organizations liked Fort Wayne so much they’re back with an expected 600 teams, 15,000 people and an estimated $6 million windfall.Read more on what another city did with the fiberglass shoes.
