Olympic & Paralympic Anniversary Celebration



Just when you thought you'd seen the last of my 2010 Olympics posts....

January 11th marks the 2 year anniversary of the 2010 Games and there's going to be a celebration! Yes indeed! The BC Sports Hall of Fame is hosting the celebration at their new digs at BC Place with all kinds of fun activities.


Here's what's happening:

Admission:

If you are a Blue Jacket, you can get in for free with your accreditation ID.
 I think most of us who will be attending will also be wearing our Blue Jackets as well.

If you aren't a Blue Jacket, you can still get in for half price all weekend (this includes guests that come with any Blue Jacket) 

The first 25 kids wearing their 2010 Red Mittens get in for free.

If you follow the BC Sports Hall of Fame on Facebook, you can send them a note detailing why your family is a "Red Mitten Family" for the chance to win a family pass to the Red Mitten Weekend for February 11th or February 12th! Entries are due Wednesday February 8th!





Activities:

Saturday Only:
-Book signing with 2010 VANOC CEO John Furlong from 10 a.m.-12 noon.
-Photo Op with the 2010 Olympic medals.

All Weekend:
-Blue Jacket Reunion
-Tour the brand new 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Gallery
-Red Mitten Colouring Contests
-Go Canada Go! Scavenger Hunt

Sunday Only:
-The museum will be playing the Gold medal hockey game and Opening Ceremonies.

I will be there marking the occasion and it sounds like some of my Athletes' Marshall teammates will be coming too. In the last two weeks, while volunteering for the 2012 Olympic women's soccer qualifier, I've walked by the Sports Hall several times and from the outside, what I could see of the 2010 Games Gallery looked fantastic. I can't wait to see it up close and in person! It should be a very good time and I promise there will be pictures!
