Saturday, thousands of fans took in all the activity downtown, including a chance to meet with some Bomber greats.
Milt Stegall, Matt Dunigan and Doug Brown were on-hand to sign autographs and take pictures with excited fans.
“I think it’s fantastic to see the passion and involvement of the fans,” Brown said.
“The game is really broken down to so many levels here and there’s something for everyone — that’s the coolest thing.”
Another activity found at the Fan Fest is the Global News green screen.
Bombers’ Quarterback Matt Nichols and Toronto Argonauts Quarterback Rickey Ray were at the Global News booth on Thursday.
Friday, it was Saskatchewan Roughrider Charleston Hughes and Montreal Alouettes’ player John Bowman.
On Saturday, commissioner Randy Ambrosi donned a reporter hat and mic for a picture.
