Opening Ceremony 1980

The Olympics have inspired us to crank up our first blog. The Vancouver games happen to coincide with the 30th anniversary of our 1980 games, so the Olympic spirit is stronger than ever! A beautiful moment in time. Our region took great pride in hosting the Olympics for the second time. Can anyone name the one other place this happened?  Here's a collection of great old Lake Placid winter posters, Olympic and otherwise, that we've hung on to over the years. Here's some trivia: although we refer to the "Winter Olympics", the official term is not the Winter Olympic Games, but the Olympic Winter Games. NBC often gets it wrong!
