News Release – August 18, 2011 – Palatine, Illinois

Sausagefest.com, the Sausage Portal for the free world, and Knupper Nursery & Landscape, a leading nursery and garden center based in Palatine, Illinois have announced a partnership agreement. This partnership now makes Knupper Nursery the Official Nursery and Garden Center for Sausagefest.com events.

“We’re very excited that Knupper’s brings it 79 years of tradition and quality to Sausagefest events. They have supported our events for a number of years and this partnership is a culmination of our working together for years to come.” , said Kent Antonius, Publisher and Founder of Sausagefest.com

“Sausagefest.com is a growing on-line community promoting backyard family events and Knuppers is all about beautifying the backyards and gardens of family as they celebrate their own Sausagefests,” said John Heaton, CEO of Knupper Nursery & Landscape.

This announcement comes on the eve of the inaugural Sausage Day in America – September 3, 2011.

Sausagefest.com is promoting this inaugural event in America to help Americans enjoy local sausages made by artisanal sausage makers. “Since most of America does it grilling in backyards why not dress up your sausage celebration with a scenic backyard,” said Kent Antonius. “We think Sausage day in America is the kind of family and friends event that promotes American values of eating local and buying local.”
