Winter Olympics - The Torch Light Parade

Every New Years week Holden holds a Winter Olympics with a day of games such as "Child Tossing", "Icicle Javelin", "Combat Sledding", "Compost Toss", "Broom Ball" and the like. Tonight the Olympic Torch was escorted into the village and lit at the top of Chalet Hill.
My friends Wanda and Carol walked the torch into the village where it was passed off to a boy who is here with his family.

This child then passed it off to another who carried the torch up to the top of the hill and lit the official torch.

We then gathered around and soaked up the warmth from the fire. Tomorrow we have a full day of competition and fun. More to come.
