Grizz Week Bus Tour - 10/23/08
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall stop the Grizzlies from spreading the word about the excitement surrounding the upcoming 2008-09 NBA season.
On a rain soaked day in Memphis, Grizzlies employees, the Grizz Girls and the Claw Crew happily jumped onto two different MATA buses that combed popular lunch locations for the second annual “Get on the Bus” tour of Memphis. As part of the “Get on the Bus” tour, which could be described as a pep rally on wheels, the bus riders handed out Grizzlies flags, Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo posters, cheer sticks and pocket schedules to fans throughout Memphis who are anticipating the start of another fun-filled Grizzlies campaign.
Two notable participants on the day were the Grizzlies General Manager Chris Wallace and President of Business Operations, Greg Campbell. Both of the Grizzlies leaders took time out of their days to ride along and help spread the word about the upcoming season. Both dove right into the fun, handing out flags and cheer sticks to the restaurant patrons. Fox 13’s Lauren Johnson was also on hand to report on events of the afternoon.
The “Get on the Bus” tour was another rousing success, culminating with a stop at Buffalo Wild Wings, where it seemed that some Grizzlies fans were already staking their spots in the restaurant to have the best view of the TV for the season opening watch party against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, October 29.
