When it comes to Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp, Dale Avison and Lynanne Avison are truly happy campers.

The retired couple from Humboldt are spending their days in Saskatoon and living out of a camper. While they are here doing other stuff in Saskatoon, the “main reason we came to Saskatoon is to see Rider camp, and the Fan Day.”

Roughriders training camp continues until June 14 in Saskatoon with practices held at both SMF Field in the Gordie Howe Sports Complex and Griffiths Stadium in PotashCorp Park on the University of Saskatchewan campus.

“It’s great because it’s a lot of exposure for the Riders,” Dale Avison says of having the Riders in town.

“Because it’s a provincial team, it’s nice that they have this in Saskatoon every year. It gives a lot more access to the northern half of the province.”

Riders’ Fan Day on Saturday included such activities as face-painting, the Rider cheer team, Gainer the Gopher, drum line and inflatables.
