Taking my family to the Riders home game this Saturday against Edmonton—cue the fanfare and confetti! My boys are basically bouncing off the walls with excitement. Should I splurge on the new Obsidian Jersey? It’s as if my wardrobe can never have enough green, right? Plus, those jerseys have a certain je ne sais quoi! But wait, there’s more! After the game, we’re heading straight to the Queen City Exhibition. I can almost hear the carnival music and smell the deep-fried… everything. Seriously, I’m already bracing myself for the wild and wacky food options. Deep-fried bacon-wrapped chocolate-covered pickles? Why not? Maybe even a cotton candy burrito. It’s going to be a feast for the senses, and an adventure for the taste buds. I wonder what other culinary oddities we’ll brave this year at the ex. Let the food experiments and family fun commence!
