It was also in Smithers on August 15th, and in 100 Mile House on August 8th, and Quesnel on August 9th.
Grey Cup Brand Ambassador, Hana Tak says the visits to rural communities like Williams Lake have exceeded expectations.
“We’ve had some people come out early, some fans came right at opening, everyone’s been super nice. We’ve had BC Lions fans, Saskatchewan Roughriders fans, as well as Hamilton Tiger-Cat fans.” says Tak.
“Everyone’s come up and have had great energy. They’ve also participated in our fan cam contest, which has been really great.”
Other activities at the festival tour included cornhole, football throwing, and highlight videos, giving residents a taste of the upcoming Grey Cup Festival in November.
Throughout the tour, Tak says they’ve even had fans of other sports stop by and get excited for the upcoming Grey Cup in Vancouver.
