Sharon Sirkis: I'm from Silver Spring, Maryland - USA and LOVE reading your blog. I'm 52 and will be 53 during the olympics! I always feel so special as the winter olympics are always at my birthday time! I wish I could purchase clothing but we in the USA can't purchase what we want from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Store -- that is a true bummer!Thanks for keeping us all so informed. It's wonderful and a great escape from the crazy daily grind.

New Vancouver 2010 Olympic pin releases

Hello Pinheads,

Some people have asked me what I know of any new pins that will be released over the next few weeks and months. I have it under good authority that CTV (Olympic Consortium) will be producing a series of pins not only for CTV but for Sportsnet, RDS and some of their radio affiliates.

The pins for the Olympic Consortium should be available internally within the next two months. But don’t bother trying to request any. The Olympic Consortium has been given strict orders not to hand out any more pins to collectors who request them. That begs the question, why produce pins if not for people who would truly cherish them? Your guess is as good as mine.

All I know that the only way to get the pins from here on in is to go to special events in communities where the Olympic Consortium partners will be present in conjunction with international sporting events and official Vancouver 2010 Olympic (VANOC) sponsored events.

If any of you here of a way to get any of the new O.C. pins please share with the pin collecting fraternity.

As I hear of any new pins that have been released or that will be released I will keep you all updated.

Cheers

Pinhunter
