Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans head to Regina for 59th Labour Day Classic [Video]

As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers prepare to take on the Saskatchewan Roughriders Sunday, some Manitobans are travelling to Regina to cheer on the Blue and Gold in-person.

Myles Blahut has been a Bombers fan for decades, and has even travelled to a few Grey Cup games. But this weekend will mark his first Labour Day Classic. Blahut recently retired as a teacher and principal, and decided to finally take advantage of his newfound free time to drive to Regina with his wife.

“We have family here in the city (Regina), so it’s always a good, fun rivalry,” Blahut said. “My cousins have been to the Banjo Bowl a few times, so we like to banter back and forth and have a lot of fun.”

Blahut said he’s looking forward to being in the stands and will “respect the rivalry” between the two teams and their fans.
