How to Book an Olympian Before the Winter Games

With the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics less than a year away, Big Entertainment is offering a new themed package designed to support Canada's athletes. Working with 20 Olympians who'll be competing in the games next February, the firm can arrange for a Canadian curler, skier, or snowboarder to attend a local corporate event. Competitors can interact with guests, and Big Entertainment will provide custom games such as ski and snowboard simulators. The firm also facilitate post-event correspondence between the company and the athletes as they train and prepare for the games. "The concept is getting people excited about the Olympics," said director Bram Goldstein, noting that the athletes' fees help subsidize their training costs.
