Grey Cup weekend

Apologies for the overdue email… as many of you were already aware or assumed, there was - 0% interest in doing Hamilton back-to-back… so Vanier is on a 1-year sabbatical. Given that most of us set that weekend aside and Grey Cup is in Ottawa, some sort of festivities are definitely still in order. Half the fun (or more) of Grey Cup revolves around the Grey Cup events and parties.

There is interest in enjoying some of these on Saturday and Sunday from the people I’ve talked to so, we are throwing it out there. I have a handful of rooms for Sat and Sun nights reserved in old Hull (literally just over the Portage bridge) which is a 5-10 minute Uber from The Market. Everything in Ottawa within 30 minutes was sold out but that could change depending on who gets into the Grey Cup… If there are 2 western teams, many of those rooms will get likely cancelled so might be able to get some right downtown.

Loose plan is to meet Saturday and heading to some events… there are some good ones like The Spirit of Edmonton (in the Market) and Ridernation at Lansdowne but all the bars in the area will be rocking. As for Sunday… there are tons of tailgates, both organized and unorganized. Some people have tickets, but most don’t, so we can play it by ear… if some cheap or free ones fall into our hands then we will roll with it! The bars will be fun as well. Being at Craft Brewery, Joey’s or Local in the area would be a blast but would have to get there early I think… or tailgate till the game starts and head there when the people with tickets leave.

Anyway… an exec meeting is happening Monday where we can firm up some plans but shoot me a note if you are interested in meeting us and we can figure out rooms and events etc.

Cheers,

Kent
