    We sat on Prince St to watch the torch relay, we were disapointed. when it went past us all of the runners were in the bus with the torch! so sadly we did not actually see the torch, but all of the other entertainment was wonderful!

    Sara - if you only saw the runners in the bus, you didn't stick around long enough.
    It was a little confusing because the hype went by first, the trucks with mucsic and the kids running with flags and glow sticks. That appeared to be the whole thing but a couple more trucks, police cars, and the torch runner were about 5 minutes behind it.
    Once the hype passed by, it seemed the parade was over and sadly, you're probably not the only one who missed it.

    I was so happy to read that Mr Piers was chosen to run the last leg. He has been, and obviously continues to be, a huge part of the community and I'm glad he was recognized in this way.
    Wish I had been there to see it, but I watched it on the news from up here in Alberta this morning. Congratulations to Truro/Colchester!
