Wow! What a weekend!
We kicked off our Grey Cup weekend with a visit from “Tuffy” a 30-year-old horse that walked into the lobby of the Ramada Hotel. Interesting visitors and fantastic events were definitely a theme for this wonderful weekend in Calgary. We had great weather and thoroughly enjoyed meeting people from all across Canada.
Grey Cup weekend was also called “The Royalty Practicum” because it gave us a glimpse at what life would be like during Stampede. I have one word to describe it, crazy! We were up at 5am and crashed at 12:30am almost everyday.
Each day began with a pancake and sausage breakfast hosted by the Grey Cup Committee. We learned how to properly flip pancakes and practiced our touchdown dances with the committee mascot, Charlie the Horse. The rest of the day was spent jumping from event to event and party to party. I really enjoyed taking part in the parade on Saturday afternoon. It was great to see so many people out on the streets celebrating Canada’s Game.
Thank you to the Grey Cup Committee for all of their hard work!
