Olympics In DuPage?

Could the 2016 Olympics come to DuPage? Well, not the whole thing, but some of the activities. We will find out. Brent Manning (Our Executive Director) has sent a letter to the Olympic Committee in Chicago to offer help. It is our understanding that there may be some needs for equestrian facilities and practice fields for archery. This would fit into two projects we are working on developing.

First, there is the archery facility that we are in the process of developing at Blackwell F.P. It will have 4 ranges and would have plenty of viewing space. Second, in addition to our current horse operation at Danada F.P., we are developing the opportunities at St. James Farm F.P.
Since many of the needs for the Olympics are already in place, it might work out to assist in that fashion.

One of the benefits possible with assisting the Olympic Committee in its needs is that they provide some of the money to bring things up to Olympic Standards. Improved facilities on someone else's dime sounds ok to me.
