The party trays have been ordered and the beer is chilling in the cooler; Grey Cup weekend has arrived.
Hundreds of Calgarians are making their way to Toronto for Sunday’s game between the Stampeders and the Argos.
For those sticking around in Cowtown, Grey Cup rallies are happening all over the place, including at Citytv Friday morning.
Breakfast Television traffic personality and 660News reporter Dave Will is a big fan.
“It only happens every four or five years, and I grew up a Stamps fan,” he says. “My first Grey Cup was at six years old, and then I waited and waited and waited until I was 27 until the second Grey Cup. This is one of those things that doesn’t come along very often, so I’m super pumped.”
To celebrate, Citytv has invited former Stamps to come and chat with fans, asking anyone coming to bring money or a non-perishable food item for the Calgary Food Bank.
Anyone actually going to the big game in Toronto may want to check out a pancake breakfast being put on by the Grey Cup Committee at Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday.
For those staying put, tons of great parties will be happening around the city, including at Schanks, the Shark Club, or you can join Sportsnet960 The Fan and 660News at The Cat and the Fiddle.
