MORE GREY CUP PHOTOS
The annual Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade was morphed with the Grey Cup parade and over 50,000 spectators reportedly turned out on Saturday in the Manitoba capital. I should add that all of these photos came off the Tweeter feed of the 103rd Grey Cup Fest (@GreyCupFestival). We drove home on Saturday!

Jeffrey Orridge poses with some fans … or Jeffrey Orridge poses as a fan. To everyone in the know those girls are probably more popular than he is and have been asked to have more pics taken this week.
Is Bachman Turnover and Overdrive a typo or attempt at humour?
Pretty sure Orridge doesn't read your blog. Lol.
Orridge not going to be happy about MMG? Why what happened? Did Orridge have you kicked out from the Grey Cup festivities? You came home early. Winnipeg not your cup of tea? Orridge doesn't seem to be the person to lead the CFL. Very weak with his personal communication skills. CFL needing strong direct transparent leadership. Orridge gotta go!
Why didn't you stay for the game?
