Seriously, the Mayor of Green Bay would like to know. In advance of Favre’s triumphant return to Green Bay later this month, Mayor Jim Schmitt is "asking for public input on the best way to respectfully ‘welcome back’ one of the City’s most famous former residents: new Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre," according to his website.
Like, seriously. They want some suggestions in Green Bay. More from the Mayor's Office:
In advance of the Green Bay Packers highly anticipated home game at Lambeau Field against the Vikings on November 1st, Mayor Schmitt has fielded a wide variety of ideas from Packer fans on how to commemorate the occasion, from re-naming streets, to welcoming back other former Packers greats, to creating the world’s largest #4 waffle. The Mayor is reaching out to the community to create a list of the Mayor’s Top 4 things he can do to tastefully welcome back Brett Favre.
Send the Mayor your thoughts on the best way to "welcome back" the City's famous Number 4! Your ideas will be accepted until Wednesday, October 28th.
And then there's an entry field where you can submit your ideas. Personally, I like the idea of a gigantic waffle or something otherwise cartoonish in approach, but ultimately, nothing can top the quiet brilliance of a town full of people wearing this t-shirt:

Favre Homecoming
We just started running these billboards around Green Bay and the rest of the state. Leads to site selling black #4 armbands, with all proceeds going to breast cancer research.
