It was a sea of green jerseys and Saskatchewan Roughrider apparel at the Rider Block Party held at the Crescent Point Wickenheiser Center in Shaunavon this past Friday August 9.

The event, which was raising money for the purchase of community bleachers, saw a good turn out of people with approximately 400 in attendance.

There was a barbecue supper put on by Rock Solid Refuge and outdoor activities for the kids, as well as a live viewing party of the game between The Saskatchewan Roughriders and  The Montreal Alouettes, which unfortunately ended early because of severe weather in Montreal.

Rider alum players in attendance included Chris Getzlaf, Neil Hughes and Matt Dominquez.

No final dollar amounts raised are available yet.
