The OLYMPIC TORCH Arrives in Manitou Springs! - February 1, 2002
 |
Guys! The Olympic Torch came through Manitou Springs this morning! I confess I didn't think it would be a big deal, but it was such an amazing event! |
 |
That's Rich, hanging up a huge American flag on Manitou Avenue. |
 |
There it is ... THE TORCH! |
 |
The torch was placed inside the gazebo at Soda Springs Park during a brief ceremony. |
 |
And this gentleman - I know nothing about him - when he carried that torch it was really special! |
 |
Early on, I ran into Lisa, Erica and Joel. Erica, in the middle, is the one who made fun of me for writing my Christmas cards in October. |
 |
Former Hair Consultant Donna Ward was there! :) |
 |
I ran into lots of people, as you can see. Ugh, I forgot their names, but that's Boki's wife and Japhy, and a young girl who's visiting. |
 |
All I will say is, Manitou Springs has some freaky-looking people! :) |
 |
Yea! I got a pennant! (Which, unfortunately, I already lost!) :( |
 |
Look at the great costumes of these people! |
