Local group, The Dares, warm up before the show. They performed on a
huge stage set up at the foot of Church Street, next to City Hall in
Burlington.

Jon Gailmor entertained hundreds of people awaiting the torch
runner in Burlington, Vermont.

Allison, a City Hall employee, brought the torch to the stage. She
had received it from
Michele Forman, the National Teacher of the Year, who is from Salisbury,
Vermont.

Occurring events were displayed on a huge video screen next to the
stage. Here, the winning artwork of a community competition
is displayed.

Owney cheered on the torch runners with his own "I Saw the
Flame" flag. He also was given one of the stickers marking
the starting point for each of the torch runners. These markers
were placed about .2 miles apart along the torch relay course.
What an incredible day!

One of Owney's friends, Nanci Hamilton-Hoffman, made some changes to the actual
picture from the torch relay to include the traveling pup. Thanks
for the laugh, Nanci!
