Olympic Torch Comes to Brantford!

We got a little taste of Olympic Fever tonight as the Olympic Torch Relay made it's way to Brantford around 7pm to stay the night before continuing West toward the Games in Vancouver. Mommy took Evan to the festivities! Here is Evan playing with some Olymipc swag - the Coke bottle illuminated in different colours and looked really neat. RCB also handed out noise-maker tamborines. As you can imagine, Evan was THRILLED with both!


The show before the torch arrived was very entertaining and included drummers (below on the screen), dancers, artists and bands! The turnout was incredible!

Here is a picture of a local Olympic athlete who would be receiving the flame next for the relay.

Quatchi and the girls were out and about greeting the crowd.

Finally the Olympic Torch runner arrived! Here he is on stage igniting the cauldron for Brantford !

And waving to the crowd!

The city of Brantford will keep the flame alive over night so that it can continue tomorrow morning on its 106 day journey to Vancouver. Unbelievably, this is the same fire that was lit in Greece and brought to Canada! We're looking forward to tracking the relay Westward!
