As the Ottawa Redblacksgo through their final preparationsfor the big game against Calgary on Sunday, fans have made their way to Edmonton to take in the Grey Cup spectacle.

Grey Cup week brings more than just great football: it's also filled withparades, parties, and performances from the teams'cheer squads.

Here are some of thefans who've been living it upout west.

These Redblacksfans donned their finest footwear for the occasion.

CBC Ottawa's Dan Sequin stopped in at the R-Nation party on Friday night.

And our Giacomo Panico bumped into a real 'fan's fan.'

No doubt he'll be cheering with the Redblacks against Edmonton's chief rival.

Ottawahead coach Rick Campbell is back in the city where his father Hugh, left, won five straight Grey Cups coaching the Eskimos, starting in 1978.

John and Angela Ward also made the trip to cheer on their son, Redblacks' kicker Lewis Ward.

Some fans are sending their love from overseas and looking for a way to cheer on their team.

Can't we be friends?
