Rammer, I don't know where you got your info from, but I thought Fanfest was pretty good.

The scrimmage was pretty much what we expected and similar to past years. I thought there was actually more to do at last year's fanfest than previous years as the City of Abbotsford also did some stuff.

No we couldn't pick up our Season Tickets last year, but that was minor IMHO as the lineup when it was in the Dome was horrendous.

Plus you can't forget that we could tailgate right there too, so it was go check out somethings in the fanfest, hed back out to the tailgate and talk to some folks, go back in. Never was really bored. And it was just me and Shaelyn last year. This year Shannon and Kaleigh are coming too. I am also going to be bringing my 7 yr old nephew who just finished his first season of minor football.

Like OS99 said, other than the low turnout of the regulars from this board it was a good time. Besides, it's the only time I can get down this time and with it being on Saturday (which works good for just fanfest I must add!!!) I won't be able to see much of the practices this year (gotta head back the following Sunday morning).

Hopefully you will make the HUGE trek out to Abbotsford this year....

Boo to in-laws being in town during Fan Fest!

Priorities, girl....priorities! Bring them to Abbotsford. :lol:

Or, I could escape and allow the rest of them to have some "alone time"...hmm.

I thought we found out that the practice was canceled in lieu of teh Grey Cup Dinner......??? So I am wondering if this is an old draft.

The scrimmage was cancelled Rammer, which as we all know is a waste of a day FB wise. It will probably be a normal practice just held on the main field, which is better then the watching ST Kick off to one returner....
The funny thing is last year the monday practice after the sunday scrimmage they were hitting full speed with the 2nd stringers.

[Charlene]

it says practice...not scrimmage! They have 2 practices a day...so this is probably just one of their practices.

Live entertainment...i'm scared to see what Abbotsford came up with this year lol.

[Charlene]

Err yeah...what Yank said

Agreed about the scrimmage alright. But I just clipped this from what Lowell Ullrich said and LFitQ posted, and can't see how the two differ...

Coach Wally Buono agreed to give up a day of practice in order to hold a Grey Cup ring dinner June 3.

That is in regards to the fanfest scrimmage.

[Charlene]

No, it's not. It's in regards to practice on June 3rd...not June 9th :P

I thought I read that camp was going to open a day later because of the GC ring dinner on June 3rd.......and that was the day WB was giving up...................cancelling the scrimmage makes up for that lost day of practice(s).

Why ? What did they come up with last year ?

[Charlene]

I seem to remember Abbotsford's jump rope team being there :P They were really good...but it was a lame thing to have!
