The Buzz Gets Louder

   The party has started in Regina and Saskatchewan for this Sunday's Grey Cup, and the cold we've been getting is playing a role in the festivities. Grey Cup 101 Chairman Neil Donnolly says the bitter cold may force officials to cancel some activities.
   But the week is spilling out of the Queen City as well. Hotel rooms in Moose Jaw are sold out, and the Band City also saw the Riders practise indoors, while the Ti-Cats opted to work out at Mosaic in weather with windchills of -30.
   The Cup itself was on display at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre for veterans and other patients to see.
   Rural Saskatchewan is celebrating this week's Grey Cup festivities. Moosomin's parks and rec director, Mike Schwean, says his community had a western final party last weekend. Moosomin was a runner up in the Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Community Celebration, winning 25 thousand dollars for sport facilities. Davidson also won 25 thousand dollars while Dalmeney was the grand prize winner of 50 thousand dollars.
   The Holy Grail of Canadian Football will be played for Sunday, and I'm hoping for a repeat of the 2007 game:

   Won, of course, by the Riders:

   But for now, the party's on. And if you're there taking part in the fun, please be careful and don't overdo it. Especially not the special "chicken soup" Danny Ismond and I have been talking about.
