We wrapped up the Torch Tour today, setting up inside the Empire Family Village at the Opening Ceremonies with 25 other vendors! It was an afternoon full of giveaways, food, and music, and hundreds of athletes and their families stopped by.
Besides holding the torch today, visitors could also wear a real Olympic Gold medal! Steve Mesler, Olympic Gold-medalist in the 2010 Vancouver Four-Man Bobsled, joined us for photos. Mesler is a Buffalo native and former Empire Games competitor.
We had crowds all afternoon and took over 150 photos! Watch the WKBW coverage!
