The day will conclude with a roast beef supper and a social with DJ music.
Sunday’s Labour Day Classic game is completely sold out this year and fans won’t have a shortage of things to see and do before and during the game.
“We’ve got lot’s of real fun things happening on the footprint,” proclaimed Karina Peterson, Manager, Game Entertainment & Community. “The Coors Light Tailgate will be great, but then you can head into Security Building Supplies Riderland Park (where) we’ve got new inflatables last week, so lot’s of really fun activations and activties for the full family.”
In the stadium, the Canadian Armed Forces will be rappelling down to the field to deliver the game day ball, line dancing lessons will be happening courtesy of the CCMA’s, and Faber Drive will be performing at halftime.
Kickoff for the 61st Labour Day Classic will be at 5pm. The game will be broadcast on 620 CKRM.
