My family had a great time downtown Vancouver, on Saturday, Februrary 27, 2010 taking in the Olympic atmosphere. I took along some mini magnet mittens, and all of the Canadian Fans Magnets that I had.
I gave away mittens to the couple from Washington, who shared their parking pass ticket with us. Thanks again, that was very generous of you! Then we gave away some fan magnets to a family in the crowd at the Cauldron. That was fun, and they even thought they might put them in their scrapbook. Yah! That was music to my ears. I left a pair of mittens stuck to the map next to the Cauldron. I wonder if anyone picked them up, and where they went?
I gave out many more Canadian Fan Magnets to those around us. A few to the girls taking pictures on their way to the Cauldron, one to a girl who didn't want her picture taken in the Bob sled on Granville next to the street hockey game, a few to the family in Subway, a few to a fellow DHL driver and his wife, who we just happened to run into in the crowd and more to few more people in the crowd. I also gave mitten magnets to the lady in Starbucks that made my coffee, to the lady in the crowd who was passing out religious material, and to the two guys busking on the street(although I am sure they weren't all that thrilled about it....sorry boys I only had those in my pocket, no money) as well as to the family in Subway.
This was a big part of having fun that day. It was so nice to just give to people around me. I hope in some small way, my little 'souvenirs', help all those people remember the good time they had on their own Olympic Experience.
I am hoping to do this again during the Paralympics, but not sure I will get the chance.
If any of you, that received my Fella Felts, stop by, be sure to stop and say Hello! I was great to meet you and have you a part of our Olympic Experience!
