As a child the CNE- in downtown Toronto on Lake Ontario- was the trip anticipated for the whole summer. Getting a free pass at the end of the school year, it was a coveted prize. Since 1879 it has pleased Torontonians and visitors. So a September 2, 2017 outing with one daughter and two grandsons.
At the east end the Princes Gate greets everyone. So many pictures taken under it, by it, in the arch way.
Yes straight through the arches and the EX is there!
Colourful signs for a huge variety of food everywhere.
And drinks!
Games!
And more games!
Many buildings- but of course the Food Building was still very popular! A delicious but messy porchetta sandwich and some poutine fries was my lunch.
In the Arts and Crafts Building we found the Quilt of Belonging.
It was showcased here in 2009 and has travelled around the country and world to return for this special 150 celebration. The Enercare Centre had lots of dealers and events. Every building housed something. Lots to see and buy!
The sky ride gave a good view of the EX and makes it easier to go from one end to the other.
150 signs everywhere!
The Dufferin Gate at the west end with the CN Tower visible to all.
Kids love signs and to be part of the memory!
The smells, the games, the crowds, the memories and listen carefully the last weekend of the EX for the jets from the Air Show.
