Monday, March 1st--Noelle Pikus-Pace lives in our little community. She just competed in Skeleton races during the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. She placed 4th,
missing the bronze by only a 1/10th of a second (that's a blink of an eye!). We, here in Eagle Mountain, are very proud of her and the city decided to welcome her home in style. At the entrance of our community, The Ranches, several flags were placed. She pulled into the the Maverick, by the front entrance to fire trucks, city vehicles, ambulances and news crews. Apparently, she had no idea! Most of the
residents had got word this was taking place so many of us lined the streets to watch her come down the road. I made a sign "You Are Worth GOLD to Eagle Mountain!" and Elise made a cute American flag and then, flipped over, it says "You ROCK!" with a gold medal next to it. The long series of vehicles drove past us pretty quickly so we didn't get to do much but wave to her. The
vehicles ended the parade at Hidden Hollow Elementary School where Noelle was given a key to the city. I saw the presentation on the news, it was pretty touching. Such an awesome example of endurance and determination! Congrats to Noelle!
