Closing Ceremonies celebrate the culture of the place where the games has taken place.
Here in Blogville, a place I am most proud to be a part,
we have many parts to our unique culture.

Traditionally, the torch is extinguished to symbolize the ending of the games.
Sarge has volunteered his services to set out the flames.
Take it away Sarge.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful wonderful post! I especially love the part about Blogville! As a relatively new resident of Blogville, I have enjoyed meeting other residents and learning about its wonders. I am so proud to be a part of Blogville and the Blogville Olympics!
Many thanks to Finn and the many other Olympic hosts and athletes! I haven't been able to attend as many events as I would have liked due to my mom's broken arm and surgery (talk about bad timing), but I hope to get to more of the posts and enjoy them after the fact.
your pal,
Garth
