The biggest Manitoba social Hogtown has ever seen will take place on FRIDAY, NOV. 23 in Toronto. That's when the 2007 TOUCHDOWN MANITOBA party will take place as part of this year's Grey Cup festivities.

Fans are encouraged to get their tickets early for this much-anticipated annual event that combines Winnipeg's renowned hospitality, our Friendly Manitoba reputation and the excitement of Grey Cup week and rolls it up into one afternoon of non-stop fun. Touchdown Manitoba organizers are bringing their party to Toronto for the very first time and it promises to be a memorable event.

Touchdown Manitoba party-goers will be treated to non-stop entertainment including party band Cherry Suede, a music DJ and performances by guest entertainers like the Labatt Blue Lightning Dance Team, the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band and Toronto's own Argonotes.

Included in the ticket price is a limited-edition Touchdown Manitoba 2007 souvenir lapel pin (while supplies last) and a snack buffet with kolbasa, rye bread, and all of the traditional delicacies of an authentic Manitoba social.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes, including a Winnipeg Blue Bomber helmet autographed by all-time CFL touchdown leader Milt Stegall. Touchdown Manitoba advance tickets are only $10 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster. A limited number of tickets will also be available at the door for only $12 (cash only, while they last).

"Touchdown Manitoba combines one of Manitoba's best-loved traditions - the social - with all the fun and frenzy of Grey Cup week," said Touchdown Manitoba president Cathy Garski. "I encourage everyone to get their tickets early because we expect another sell-out crowd to party with us in Toronto."

A legacy of the first Winnipeg Grey Cup Festival in 1991, Touchdown Manitoba Inc. is an independent, non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to promoting Winnipeg and Manitoba, and maintaining a grassroots presence for the city and province every year at the Grey Cup.

Volunteers work throughout the year to accomplish this goal by organizing Touchdown Manitoba, a huge Manitoba-style social held annually in the Grey Cup host city as part of the festivities leading up to the big game. The inaugural Touchdown Manitoba social was held in Calgary during Grey Cup week in1993. Since then, Touchdown Manitoba has established a reputation as one of the "don't miss" parties of Grey Cup week.
