Tahoe-Reno Olympic team making contacts in Vancouver
By Lauren Gustus, Reno Gazette-Journal
WHISTLER, British Columbia — The Reno-Tahoe area isn’t going to secure host status for a future Winter Games during the Vancouver Olympics.
But Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition members are here, trying to plant a seed.
“It is not the occasion to sell,” said Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, chairman of the nonprofit coalition’s board. “It’s the time to show our support. It’s the time to kick some tires and eyeball folks, and make sure that we think this is something we believe we’re up to.”
