Pick up your free ‘Road to the Games, 2010’ lapel pin

Join the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau in catching the excitement of the winter Olympic Games in neighboring Vancouver, B.C., by collecting a free commemorative lapel pin. The green and gold pin displays the bureau’s logo and the phrase, “Road to the Games, 2010.”

The pins were issued Feb. 1, just as the world turned its attention to Vancouver and the surrounding region.

“We wanted to tie into the enthusiasm of the winter games and the tradition of sporting fans collecting pins,” stated Jennifer Bravo, Visitor Services Manager of the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau.

“Offering the lapel pins is a memorable welcome for visitors traveling to the games and a way to encourages return visits to Snohomish County.”

Lapel pins are available at the bureau’s four visitor information centers:

• Heritage Park in Lynnwood: 19921 Poplar Way

• Comcast Arena in Everett: 2000 Hewitt

• Historic Downtown Snohomish: 1301 First St.

• Smokey Point in Arlington: 3710 168th St. NE, Ste. C101

Lapel pins are free as long as supplies last and limited to one per person.
