Cooma motorcade for Torah Torah Bright’s return to Cooma on April 10 has been confirmed by her agent and CoomaMonaro Shire Council is finally able to put the plans in place for a celebration of her win at the recent Winter Olympics held in Vancouver, Canada. Plans are afoot and a special working party which includes Torah’s parents, Peter and Marion Bright has been formed and the first meeting took place this week. “Exciting times are ahead and we can finally celebrate with Torah and congratulate all our local Olympians for their efforts and achievements overseas,” Cooma-Monaro Shire
Council’s Deputy Mayor, Dean Lynch, said. “Our council really wants to do our local Olympians proud, just as they have done for us and we are planning a motorcade down the main street of town which will stop at Centennial Park where all of our local school children and residents can share in the celebrations. The motorcade will then make its way to the Civic Reception.” He said. “Local community groups have offered their support with the celebrations and requests for some type of monument honouring our first Gold Medal winner as well as past and present Olympians is being considered,” he said.
