The Olympic Torch passed through Fort Collins on Wednesday, January 30. Thousands of flag-waving supporters braved freezing temperatures to cheer on the torchbearers as they made their way through town.

Spirits were high at the Foothills Fashion Mall break site event, which included a "Banner Hall of Fame", speeches and autographs by former Fort Collins Olympians Amy Van Dyken and Libbie Hickman, an appearance by Lloyd Garcia, the oldest Olympian from Fort Collins, and comments from local dignitaries.
