A Great Tradition

With the Canadian National Exhibition in full swing, this is the ideal time to revisit my "Tales from the Ex".
Three years as a games booth attendant provided me with some pretty cool stories. Here are seven I shared during the summer of 2004. Read 'em while they're hot.
- Conklin Carnies Save My Life
- What a Wonderful World
- The Legend of Ardo
- Risking My Life On Black Monday
- Bands at the Grandstand
- Observing the Conklin Carnies
- The Swarm

Ah, there are many adventures to be had @ The Ex. I have many fond memories of it myself. The rides, the food, the laughs. I try to go every year & my summer's not the same when I don't. I'm working contract so weekends are all I have & Saturdays are out. I didn't go the first Sun. it was open for whatever reason & plan to be @ the Mix Beachfest Labour Day, so this Sunday's all I have left but it's supposed to rain. :( I've had discounted Wonderland tix I bought @ work for weeks now & was supposed to go to it or The Ex last Sun. but it rained. The Wonderland tix can be used anytime before it closes Oct. 8th but it's like I'm not meant to go to The Ex this year. I even prefer it to Wonderland.
