More than 100 youngsters from KidSport Lethbridge and Taber as well as Lethbridge minor football took part in the fun on Saturday as the Stampeders held Junior Stamps Camp in Lethbridge.

The club's rookie players along with offensive lineman Jon Gott, who grew up in Lethbridge, quarterback Drew Tate, president Gordon Norrie, head coach and general manager John Hufnagel, members of the Outriders cheer team and Ralph the Dog were on hand at Lethbridge's Community Sports Stadium.

The players ran the kids through a series of football drills and then signed autographs and posed for pictures.

"The Stampeders have had an association with youth organizations in general and KidSport in particular for many years," said Norrie, "and the Junior Stamps Camp is the next step in that relationship. I can tell you that the entire team is very excited about this program.

"We may be the Calgary Stampeders, but the team also belongs to Lethbridge and all of Southern Alberta. This is Stampeders Country, we have great support here and for that, we are very grateful. I'd like to thank KidSport Lethbridge and Taber, Lethbridge minor football and everyone else involved for making this day possible."

"Any time I can give back to the community that helped get me to where I am today I'm glad to do it," said Gott, who starred at Lethbridge Collegiate Institute before heading to Boise State University and then the Stampeders. "If the kids look to me as a role model that's great, but I just like to come out here and have fun."
