Torch Relay Shows Community Pride


The Olympic torch relay come through Brooks on Saturday, January 16 at 4 PM. It is estimated that over 3000 people were downtown at city hall when the runners came through, with even more people along the remaining part of the route. There were ice sculptures and a mini Olympics at city hall, along with free hot chocolate and hot dogs for spectators. They were estimating at around 300 hot dogs to be given away, but went through 1200! It was a great showing of community spirit! A community we are proud to call home!
