I think when I shared about Morton, Illinois, I didn't mention. But our little town's claim to fame is being "The Pumpkin Capital of the World." Home of the Nestlé/Libby's pumpkin packing plant, Morton is proud to say that over 80% of the world's canned pumpkin is processed right here.
The Caterpillar facility is the Worldwide Distribution Center for Caterpillar parts.
Pretty impressive stuff for a small town.
