Richmond, BC, Feb 9th, 2010, Day 103 of The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.
The torch hit Richmond Ozone in style tonight. It was a fantastic multicultural celebration. They included the Chinese New Year (Year of the Tiger) As part of the celebration. The year of the tiger is my year co-incidentally.
I am certain Ozone will be a great place to party this month. Though there were some crowd control issues at the end of the ceremony. I got boxed in behind the bleachers with a few hundred people. Lots of them were trying to push the way out.
Seems like Ozone may have let a few too many people in towards the end.
But other-wise it was a great time. I have too many pictures to post. Even took some video but will save that for tomorrow.
One good shot of the torch runner. Given the distance I was at.
There are still two days to see left to see the torch relay. Including the Governor of California. Do I even need to say his name?
Update: I forgot to mention. They said that tonight’s crowd 15000 plus was the biggest on record. Way to go Richmond!
