Green Explosion

We watched the Riders beat the Stampeders in the western final on TV.  It was a pretty exciting game to say the least. The sign that says "Sky of Blue. Sea of Green" was certainly true.  At game time it was 4C with sunny blue sky and there was a sea of green in the stands.   We could almost hear the crowd from our house.    And when the game was over we could hear the fireworks from the stadium loud and clear.

Since there were lot of people in the city for the football game at the same time as the start of Agribition, the newspaper had a "Species Identification Guide."

Watermelon, no cow    -  Rider fan
Watermelon, with cow  -  Avoid

Now it is on to the Grey Cup for the Riders!

Great for the Riders. #1 Son told me that this was the first western final game played in Regina since 1976. First in his life time.
Loved the Species identification. Sounds like Ron Petrie?

For the species identification you are correct about the author.
