Tonight Owen Sound was part of the torch relay. We stood in the bitter, bitter cold for nearly two hours. By the time the torch bearer, Jason Crone, wheeled up the shoot my fingers and camera were too cold to snap the action. But I watched the flame go by and it was pretty awesome.

Jason carried the flame up to the stage and lit the on-stage cauldron.

There were speeches and dancing and singing and painting and best of all: there were torch bearers wandering around the parking lot with their torches. I'm not sure who was more excited but check this out:
