The Sky way is a good ride from one end of the EX to the other.




A good vantage point to take some aerial pictures.

LET'S GO TO THE EX!! TORONTO CELEBRATES

Today the Ex or CNE- Canadian National Exhibition opens in Toronto. So many memories come back.
At the end of the school year we would get our ticket to the Ex. It was an event that was so important in the GTA.
As a young teen my brother Rob and I would go on the first day. Back then there were buses that came from various areas straight to it. We would get the CNE Express at Yonge and Steeles. Coming home took the Express bus back. We had saved money over the summer so we could go on rides and buy our food.
As an adult, I have gone every few years.
Then the grandchildren came along and have gone more often.


The food is always everywhere. The aroma of all of it is what makes the event fun.
Visiting the buildings and midway and playing a few games. Lots of junk to buy.
If you like air shows, then the Labour Day weekend is the time to go.

Am aerial view!

The Princes' Gates!

So let's go to the EX!
