Elks go country at match against Winnipeg

This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot student reporter Darcy Hoogers. Darcy recommends the Edmonton Elks Football game where the Elks will take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for a country-themed night at Commonwealth Stadium.

Here's what Darcy had to say:

"With a record squarely atop the CFL's West Division, the Elks are back — and they brought the crowd with them! Memories of my childhood days cheering for Edmonton are reignited as roaring football fanatics prepare to make Commonwealth Stadium a hostile environment for the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers. If you remember the Elks as a lukewarm franchise, which characterized the team's performance for the past five years, Friday's game is sure to change your mind as Edmonton QB Cody Fajardo continues to make his case as this year's Most Outstanding Player."
