The Remsen community held a rally for their star, Erin Hamlin, who will compete next week in the Vancouver Olympics in the luge. Erin's parents were on hand for the event. Erin even skyped in for a word to her fans.
Erin Hamlin was the talk of Remsen's annual snowfest. Signs and banners were hung everywhere to honor their hometown olympian. Erin's parents were part of the day's festivities. They will leave for Vancouver on Thursday.
The proud hometown of a world champion and Olympic competitor is showing support for their hero. The village of Remsen is celebrating luger Erin Hamin with a new billboard on State Route 12.
One of the great achievements that can be bestowed upon any Olympian, other than lighting the torch, is to be chosen to carry their nation's flag into the Opening Ceremony. Who will be chosen this year to carry the American flag into BC Place?
