Relive The Magic At This Free Event! - July 15, 2006 - 7:00pm - Centennial Olympic Park

A decade ago, the world watched as Atlanta hosted the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

The Georgia native and MCA recording artist performed during the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. She will join thousands in the Park to reunite, reminisce and relive the excitement shared a decade ago.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to reunite with fellow volunteers and relive the excitement of the opening ceremonies, the games and the camaraderie they shared. And anyone is
