Football fans start the trek to Edmonton for Grey Cup

Nov 25, 2010 | 3:20 PM

The exodus has begun — football fans are moving west and into Edmonton for the Grey Cup.

It starts at the West Jet check in, deced out with green banners and beads.

Kim Zwolinski at the West Jet counter is wearing a uniform of a different kind. In fact, it matches the green and white of the customers on the other side of the counter.

The Grey Cup isn't until Sunday, but fans from all over going early for the second most important event – the parties.
