Day five of the Saskatoon EX saw 29,205 people coming through the gates, which is an increase of just under 9,000 people from Wednesday’s attendance. The total for the five days is 125,476.

The temperatures are expected to be in the mid 30s this weekend, so a news release from Prairieland Park emphasizes that there are indoor cooling centres even though there is no indoor programming in the buildings this year. If you need a break from the heat, come through the main foyer near entrance number six.

Dean Brody plays the SaskTel Grandstand Friday night at 8:30 and Doc Walker is at the Kickin’ Horse Saloon at 10:30 following the grandstand show.
