“The U.S. is becoming a significant player in biathlon,
and moving forward, I believe that biathlon will enjoy
significant growth in our country because of it,” said Towle.
“Aroostook County is very well positioned to take advantage of this growth.”
Back on home soil, Towle and other members of the
organizing committee are hard at work preparing to host a
world-class event.
First came some visual reminders to help promote
local enthusiasm. A logo and a countdown calendar were
unveiled last February. The logo prominently features
the word biathlon in a lighter blue with a more deep blue
image of a cluster of pine trees appearing in the letters. A
silhouette figure of a biathlete in motion, using similar blue
and gold colors found in the Maine Winter Sports Center
logo, appears as though skiing out of the word biathlon.
The countdown calendar, that has been counting down
the days until the 2014 event, was originally located in a
window of the Key Bank building, but was later moved to
outside the Kathadin Trust Company building once Key
Bank moved to their new location.
