What an incredible feeling!
Monday Jan. 18th Katie, Kirstie and I headed out onto 9th Ave and 11th street to get our first taste 0f the 2010 Olympic spirit. We stood on the side of route 148 where Stampede’s President and Chairman of the Board, David Chalack ran with the torch. The atmosphere on the street was incredible. We were joined by many members of the Stampede family, including Harry the Horse. Our friends from the Grey Cup Committee were also there to cheer on the flame.
Seeing the torch was very emotional. The Olympics represent a time where the countries of our world come together to celebrate. Olympic Plaza was a sea of smiling, red and white. The sense of pride that filled the streets was amazing. After experiencing the feeling first hand, I understand why the 2010 Olympic motto is, “with glowing hearts.”
Go Canada, Go!
