Enjoy 10th Anniversary Fun at Centennial
Olympic Park Tomorrow |
Come
on out to Centennial Olympic Park tomorrow,
July 15, 2006, to enjoy the 10th Anniversary
Celebration of the Centennial Olympic Games.
The 1996 Olympics had a lasting impact on
the city of Atlanta and confirmed the city's
status as an international destination. The
10th Anniversary Celebration of the Centennial
Olympic Games is an opportunity to share the
legacy with future generations, as well as
to give thanks to those who volunteered during
the Centennial Olympics Games. Bob Costas,
the voice of the Olympic Games for 18 years,
returns to Atlanta to emcee the 10th Anniversary
Celebration!
Local bands will kick off the entertainment
at 7 p.m., followed by a video tribute to
the 1996 Olympic Games and special appearances
by Olympians Janet Evans and Carl Lewis. Afterwards,
multi-platinum, multi-Grammy award-winning
star Trisha Yearwood will perform. The Georgia
native and MCA recording artist, who performed
during the closing ceremonies of the 1996
Olympic Games, will join thousands in the
Park to reunite, reminisce and relive the
excitement shared a decade ago. With Yearwood's
larger-than-life vocals, Olympic athletes
and video highlights this is guaranteed to
be a very moving event. The evening culminates
with a special fireworks finale at 10 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public,
and festivities are planned rain or shine.
Come join in the celebration! For more information
