Mr. PG goes to the Olympics
FEBRUARY 24, 2010
Even though we did not have tickets to any events we certainly took in the Olympics. A time of a lifetime that I would not have guessed would have had such an impact, what an adventure. I decided to take Mr.PG with me to assist in my role in being an ambassador of PG. I constructed a “flat Mr. PG” and he went everywhere with us. What a great event, and I am so proud of BC and Canada. The crowds were the so immense, yet we never experienced a single bad attitude or rude-rowdiness, and we were certainly in the crush of the crowds on Robson. Just a whole lot of good fun. Just wanted to add my story of how we connected PG to the Olympics. ~Melanie Perrin, Prince George Resident.
