Olympic Festival at Rockefeller Center

Numerous Nutmeggers attend the Olympic Festival at Rockefeller Center on Wednesday 11/4. I don't want to list them all in case I miss someone. The juniors presented hats to all the Olympic curlers in a ceremony held on the ice rink. There was a curling booth set up to showcase curling in the Olympics and lots of people helped out there and chatted with interested parties. Some of the ice crew was present as well trying to help out with getting the Olympic curlers to throw some rocks. That was really interesting as they set up a "sheet" the short way on the rink so it was only about 40 feet long or so. And they had skating going on just before the curling demonstation was to take place. But people got to see rocks being thrown.

Not sure if any of it made it onto the Today show. A quick review of the DVR did not find anything on TV.

Thanks to all who attended and helped out in anyway they could.
