The Libman Freedom Tour & Video Contest Makes Its Way to Chicago

ARCOLA, IL, May 25, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On May 26 - 29, The Libman Freedom Tour and Video Contest stops in Chicago, where The Libman Company was founded over 115 years ago by William Libman, a European immigrant seeking opportunity in America. Today, The Libman Company, manufacturers of the FREEDOM Spray Mop, is sponsoring the Libman Freedom Tour and Video Contest that has a dynamic aunt and niece duo traveling across the U.S. to ask Americans the question "What does freedom mean to you?"

During the cross-country Libman Freedom Tour, the pair is stopping at key Libman retail partner locations, freedom-themed monuments and historical sites where they will challenge the public in nine cities - New York City, Atlanta, Cincinnati/Dayton, Chicago, St. Louis, San Antonio, Albuquerque/Santa Fe, Phoenix and San Francisco - to appear on camera to answer questions about the meaning of freedom.

To participate in the contest, simply find the Libman Freedom Team at one of their scheduled stops to respond to the freedom-themed questions, where the duo will videotape your two-minute video response that could catch the eye and interest of both a panel of judges and the nation. While they are in Chicago, look for the duo at the following Menard's locations:
