SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Some of the blue wrap that adorned fencing five years ago at the Winter Olympics is still around.

A Salt Lake City businessman and avid Olympic collector who grabbed the material after the 2002 Games is giving away pieces of it.

Everen Brown is saving three strips that say "Salt Lake 2002," but he is cutting up the unmarked material and giving it away to anyone who comes to his downtown advertising business.

"I've always wanted to do this," Brown said. "I'm going to be chopping up fence wrap material until I run out of it."

Brown also plans to conduct a drawing Feb. 23, the anniversary of the Olympic closing ceremony, to give away a 20-foot section of fence wrap bearing the Olympic rings.

Brown grabbed the fence wrap from the garbage at a post-Olympic sale the Salt Lake Organizing Committee arranged.

"They were selling off toasters and TVs and VCRs and tables, everything from the Olympic village," he said. "And they had these fence wraps. Of course, the ones that said 'Salt Lake 2002' in the giant letters were, to collectors like me, the most coveted. I literally jumped into the Dumpster and started unraveling (fence wrap rolls), looking for 2002."

Brown will also have some of his own memorabilia from 2002 and other Olympics on display. Among the collection is a T-shirt handed out moments after the International Olympic Committee announced in 1995 that Salt Lake City would host in 2002 and streamer strips that were shot into the air during the celebration.

Brown, who ran a leg of the torch relay in Wyoming when the Olympic flame was on its way to Utah five years ago, said he has been to nine Olympics since the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

He said Beijing next summer will make No. 10.

"I've already got a room," he said.
