Hey you!
Been to the Ex yet?
An end of summer tradition since 1879… although a lot has changed since then!
below: The midway, 1937 (photo source: history section, CNE website)
below: Part of the midway this year. Rides, games and food! … oh, and people!
Games of skill
And games of chance (gambling, if you will)
Rides that turn you upside down,
make you scream,
swing you around,
drop you,
jostle you around,
and let you laugh with friends.
below: And, hey look, the pink and blue ride in the background, that’s a tilt-a-whirl ride. It’s a bit different from the 1937 version pictured above but the concept is still the same.
Food… deep fried almost anything you want!
The Ex… The CNE… call it what you will.
Have fun!
another August, another trip to the Ex!

An evening at the Canadian National Exhibition
A warm August evening.
Admission is only $5 if you go after 5 p.m., and if you don’t mind a few crowds!
.
The Ex has always been a place to buy unhealthy, “interesting” food! Deep fried Mars bars, Twinkies, and Oreos are just some of the goodies available.
.
The midway is also where you will find many games to play! Many ways to spend your money if you”re feeling lucky.
