Players from the Edmonton Eskimos were on hand for the city’s heritage festival on Sunday.
Some players signed autographs, others hung out in the team’s special-built booth — complete with flags outlining different players’ backgrounds — and some got out and explored the festival.
We’re at heritage days! Come on down and check out our booth. Players Colin Kelly and Almondo Sewell are at the @TELUS booth too! pic.twitter.com/fyf9pPuuPj

Second-year receiver Nate Behar, a London, Ont. native of proud Jamaican descent, took the opportunity
Spending a couple hours walking around and enjoying the sights and sounds at Edmonton Heritage Festival today might have been one of the best times in recent memory. So much beautiful culture and diversity on display it made me really love this city even more.
