Grey Cup 101
Rider Pride Comes to Ontario
While Regina prepared itself for the invasion of 50,000
raging Rider fans, small town Ontario
has been invaded by two raging Rider fans.
Carla and Charlotte arrived in Ontario accompanied by 12 green Rider t-shirts,
flags and tattoos and an abundance of Rider pride. Yes, Carla and Charlotte are from Saskatchewan
and both live in Regina.
So when their visit to Ontario landed them at our house we
became the official Rider Nation Headquarters for the Beros family.
When I would have preferred catching up on their lives we
were planning the football menu.
When I would have preferred decorating for Christmas we were
decorating for Grey Cup.
Security at our home has never been a problem; however, with
Rider Green tied to the trees in our front yard things may have changed. Ontario is in the Grey Cup with the Hamilton
Tiger Cats, so I am a little worried. The
traffic past our house has increased and is slowing down – I wonder if we should
be worried.
We have all learned the Rider song ‘Green Is the Colour’
Twenty eight years ago in 1986 the Hamilton Tiger Cats won the
Grey Cup and they did it on the day our youngest son was born – he has been
very verbal throughout this process that we will not wear green and as the good
sport that he is he wore a black Riders t-shirt.
Well it is 5:00 pm and the pre-show is about to begin. All in all the day has been a great deal of
fun.
With lots of activities, from
making our Rice Krispy Christmas Candy House to making a great tailgate supper.
Go Riders!
