Sharon's Inspiration Challenge was to do a page inspired by the Olympics. I took this challenge literally, since a few years ago we visited Lake Placid, the home of the 1980 Winter Olympics. This trip was especially memorable for me, as my family actually attended those Olympics back in 1980! It was an unforgettable experience then, and our return visit brought back some of the greatest memories I have!
I have two more pages in the works, but I stopped production while I tried to get a few of the Summer VSBN challenges done.
Journaling: " The Herb Brooks Arena, one of three ice surfaces at the Olympic Center, is a 7,700-seat multi-purpose arena in Lake Placid, New York. This surface, along with the USA Rink was built for the 1980 Winter Olympics. The 1932 Rink - Jack Shea Arena, also in the Olympic Center, was the first indoor arena used for the Winter Olympics. For the 1932 Games, it hosted the figure skating and six of the twelve ice hockey games. The 1980 Rink - Herb Brooks Arena hosted various events during the 1980 Winter Olympics, most famously the ice hockey tournament that saw the United States's 4–3 victory over the Soviet Union, the game commonly referred to as the Miracle on Ice. Figure skating events took place during those games. In 2005, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the American victory, the arena was named after the late Herb Brooks, who coached United States team during the 1980 Olympics."
