| What: |
Over 160 Ontario farmers will gather in the name of food, farming and football. Farmers are taking a night off from harvest and farm work to celebrate Ontario's Agriculture Week. They will meet football fans and enjoy a tailgate party prior to being recognized during the game as part of a Tribute to Farmers. |
| The tailgate party will feature a photo contest with a large tractor and barnboard photo frame for farmers and football fans to take selfies. Everyone can enter to win #loveONTfood baskets and Argos sideline lounge passes by emailing [email protected] or posting to social media using #loveONTfood and #argos |

| Why: |
The United Nations declared 2014 the Year of Farming Families. Right here at home, 37,000 Ontario farm families work hard to produce a bounty of local food for us to enjoy. These families are proud of the quality and variety of food they produce – and they're grateful to Ontarians for buying them. |
