2012 BC Lions Fan Fest Photo Gallery, Kamloops, BC

June 10, 2012 By Brian Wawryshyn

The BC Lions held their annual Fan Fest event in Kamloops on Sunday and once again it was a big success. Sunny warm temperatures finally graced the tournament capital and fan young and old came to mingle with their football team.

One of the priorities that Bob Ackles had when he came back to the Lions was to grow the game at the grass roots level, and events like the Lions put on today do just that. Young aspiring football players and others that may have been introduced to the game for the first time descended on Hillside Stadium at Thompson Rivers University to “Play with the pros.”

For other fans, the chance to get their favourite players autograph or picture was the draw of the day. I’ll say this unequivocally; there is no other league whose players mingle with the fans better than the CFL.

The team followed the festivities with a practice and a non contact scrimmage for those in attendance.

I hope this gallery gives you a sense of the great atmosphere that was present in Kamloops today. This ends our on location training camp coverage for 2012, as we have to return to the real world on Monday. We hope you enjoyed the pictures and the updates. We look forward to the start of the preseason this Wednesday!

BC Lions Fan Fest To Be June 12th In Kamloops

May 13, 2010 By Brian Wawryshyn

The BC Lions are not only taking their training camp to Kamloops this season, they’re taking their annual fan fest day there as well. The Lions informed us on Twitter today that the popular family event will take place at Hillside Stadium, home of the Lions 2010 training camp, on Saturday, June 12th from 9:00am to 1:00pm.

The event is usually themed towards families and season ticket holders, but clearly the Lions are trying to emphasize the “BC” in BC Lions. The day features a player meet and greet with autographs and pictures, and usually has a short no contact scrimmage for those in attendance.

There is no word if anything will be held for fans and season ticket holders in the lower mainland. The Lions play their first exhibition game on June 13th in Regina, and open up Empire Field the following weekend against the Edmonton Eskimos on June 20th.
