WHAT
An Olympic Closing Ceremonies viewing party with 30 contest winners and their guests. The contest winners will have the opportunity to watch the Closing Ceremonies with past Olympians and gain their perspective on the Games as they wrap up. There will be autographs, refreshments and a chance to relax and watch the festivities with the athletes.
The contest attendees won the opportunity through promotions by KISS-FM and WKYC-TV3. There will be a drawing for a pair of National City Championships Final Package tickets for the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
Lysacek will sign a Hard Rock Café-donated guitar, which will be signed by all the reigning U.S. champions. The guitar will be auctioned at the 2009 U.S. Championships, with proceeds benefiting the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund.
