2018-02-06 07:03:29 PM rickyd Just saw a posting about a Talent Show... ours was a big hit.

I'm rewriting it to include the Winter Olympics as well. We are also showing Olympic themed movies: "Miracle" (about the US Hockey Team...true story, my Dad even met some of the players!), "The Cutting Edge" (Ice Skating), and "Cool Runnings" (about the first Jamacian Bobsled team). I also just got "Eddie The Eagle", a true story about the first Ski Jumper from Brittian during the Calgary Olympics (in 1988, the same year as the first Jamacian Bobsled team).
