The local media came out in force to cover the Alouettes’ Grey Cup parade, especially on TV, which really surprised me.

I was stuck in the crowd, but here are some photos I got of the TV media covering the party afterward.

Everybody!

But hey, as long as they’re all having fun, who am I to judge? I go to parties and take pictures of TV reporters. We’re all strange in our own way.
