THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! CBC/RADIO-CANADA GETS GREY CUP FEVER WITH "GAME
DAY MINUS ONE" - A MORNING OF CELEBRITIES, SPORTS, PANCAKES, AND TWO
CHANCES TO WIN TICKETS TO THE GAME!
This Saturday outside the CBC building at 190 Sparks Street - 8 a.m. to
noon
Celebrate Grey Cup 2004! Join CBC/Radio-Canada hosts and personalities
at Grey Cup Countdown: Game Day Minus One on a huge urban football field
on the Sparks Street Mall (between Bank and O'Connor). Come on down
between at 8 a.m. and noon on Saturday, November 20th for a chance to
WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO THE GREY CUP.
The day kicks off at 8:00 a.m. with a free Pancake Breakfast served up
by CBC Television's Rita Celli, Ian Black, Dan Seguin, and Steve
Armitage and Kevin Sylvester of CBC Sports. CBC Radio's Lucy van
Oldenbarneveld, Laurence Wall, Jennifer Fry, Amanda Putz and Rob
Clipperton will also take their turn behind the griddle along with Todd
White of the Ottawa Senators, Jason Krault of the Ottawa Renegades and
other special guests.
At 9:00 a.m. it's time for the kids to strut their stuff on the
CBC/Radio-Canada football field for a game of Gentle Touch Football,
captained by Clifford the Big Red Dog and Franklin the Turtle!
Experienced football players will be on duty to coach the kids through
the game. Afterwards it's everyone's turn to show off their talent
during the "No-Skills and Drills Competitions" on the field.
While you're there, fill out your ballot to win tickets to the big
game! Winners will also be drawn throughout the morning for other Grey
Cup prizes. The earlier you enter, the more chances to win! The grand
prize draw for tickets to the game is at noon, and winners must be
present to claim their prize.
