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.
