All that glitters is not necessarily avian. |
Today the City of Duluth, the City of Superior, the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center, and the Duluth Curling Club honored the Olympic champions, so Russ and I went to the DECC to see them. It was wonderful fun.

They handed out these photos for free so we could get them autographed!! |
I have a very minor link to the Duluth Curling Club. Their official home is at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC) where this celebration was held. The DECC has a quote by me as part of the permanent decor!!
