Touchdown At the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre

Not a flying saucer but the GREY CUP

ONE DAY ONLY – Wednesday, March 17, 2010 – 10am – 5pm

(Southampton, ON) Not just any grey cup but THE GREY CUP! That’s right, straight from the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in Hamilton, the Grey Cup is coming to the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre for one day only. Football enthusiasts can spend the day learning the history behind this Canadian professional football trophy, which by the way was originally not intended for football at all! Learn all about its origin dating back to 1909 and the fact that the silver cup mounted on a wooden base cost only $48.00 to make. The Grey Cup celebration as we know it began in 1948 when the Calgary Stampeders went to Toronto to play the Ottawa Rough Riders dressed in their full Western get-up complete with ten-gallon hats, boots and spurs. The tradition has lived on.
