Arlington Hts. shows its support for Olympics in Chicago
Mayors and parks across the U.S. jumped on the bandwagon for Chicago's Olympic bid Tuesday.
The plan for Olympic Day was to honor the Games, then send photos and information to the International Olympic Committee to demonstrate the whole country is behind the 2016 bid. Arlington Heights Mayor Arlene Mulder brought the news back from the recent summer meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Providence.
The Arlington Heights Park District pitched Tuesday in with events that included races at the local swimming pools, with Mulder there cheering the kids, and the effort, on.
