The mercury may have soared past 40 degrees on January 15 but that didn't stop the Mayor of Penrith Cr Jim Aitken from going out to wish Australian Rowing team members Danielle Polson and Glenn Rypp all the best before they competed in the 2009 Australian Youth Olympic Festival.
The Festival, which saw events held at both the Penrith Whitewater Stadium and Sydney International Regatta Centre, was an outstanding success attracting over 300 competitors and spectators into the Penrith area on any given day during the Festival's run between Janaury 14-18.
Congratulations to all who took part, whether you won a medal or not. Sometimes just competing is enough.
