The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are being held in Vancouver early next year. That is on the other side of the country.
Fortunately, they decided to pay us a visit on their way. Here’s a picture of the convoy rolling through.
I had never seen the Olympic Torch before and was really excited to be a part of this great event. It brought the entire community together and you could feel the anticipation of the crowd.
Monty McGahey runs proudly with the flame.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day for it.
It was cold but we had clear blue skies and the community turned out in full force to cheer.
It was something to see.
It feels like a once in a lifetime experience. I hope that Canada can host the Olympic Games again some time. I like how it brings people together. The spirit of the games are alive and well.
I was glad to be a part of this day.
