Show your support for our Olympic bid - send us a photo!

On October 2, 2009, the International Olympic Committee will meet in Copenhagen to select the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In an effort to appeal to their sense of fairness, we’re putting together a video album of people showing their support for Ely’s Olympic bid.

If you have a t-shirt, sign or sticker with the Ely Olympic logo on it, send us a photo of you holding or wearing that logo and we’ll include it in our video. Or you can make your own sign by downloading the Ely 2016 logo from our recent post here or on our Facebook Group page. Or just write your own message to the IOC and hold it up.

Include your kids, your parents, your grandparents, neighbors, distant relatives, strangers on the streets. If you live outside Minnesota, include landmarks in your photos to show how widespread our support is. The more photos we have, the more support we can demonstrate, the bigger impression we can make on the IOC!

Send your photos ASAP to fun@ely.org. And check back here after August 15 to see the finished video.

JUST BE SURE TO SEND US YOUR PHOTOS BY AUGUST 10, 2009

Thanks for all your support in our bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics in Ely, Minnesota!
