There’s only one real Ben Johnson, but Illinois is about to find his lookalike. A Johnson lookalike contest is happening Thursday before the Bears take on Green Bay Packers in the playoffs Saturday.

Suburban Bedford Park is inviting fans to its Ben Johnson Look-A-Like Contest at the Wintrust Sports Complex from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Fans of all ages are welcomed to participate, show off their similarities and maybe rip off their shirts to show their love for the team. The event will feature a complimentary food buffet from Moretti’s, free parking, and alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
