These are part of the community's effort to be named "Riderville", as a part of the Saskatchewan Roughriders' 100th birthday celebrations.To continue the spirit shown on these days, the Weyburn Rider Nation is urging people to continue wearing Rider gear on Fridays and keep on showing why Weyburn is the community to beat in the "Where is Riderville" contest 小蓝视频 held by the Roughriders.After the submission deadline of June 15, the Riderville selection committee will choose five finalists, and voting will be open to all Roughrider fans in the province as to which community should be named as "Riderville"; the winning community to earn this designation, and a $25,000 prize for minor sports along with it, will be announced at the Riders' Labour Day football game. The finalist communities will also each get $2,500 to go towards the community's minor sports programs.
