Spotlight on the World of Coca-Cola - Olympic Torches
With the lighting of the flame in Athens Greece yesterday, the Vancouver Olympic torch run has officially begun. I am also creating an exhibit of torches that will be used at the Vancouver games. With all this going on, I thought my Friday Spotlight on the World of Coca-Cola had to highlight some of the torches that are on display at the World of Coke.
We have torches from seven Olympics on display in the Sports and Entertainment gallery of the Milestones of Refreshment exhibit. I blogged last year when Olympic pole vaulter Sergey Bubka helped me install the Beijing Torch, so I wonder who we can get to help install the Vancouver one when it arrives?
In the meanwhile enjoy the photos of Mr. Bubka and the Salt Lake City, Beijing and Torino torches.
