Thanks to cooler weather Wednesday, Day 2 attendance at the Saskatoon Ex was down compared to Day 2 in 2019, but overall Prairieland Park officials are pleased with the numbers coming to the grounds so far.

There were 30,199 people come through the gates Wednesday, compared to 33,287 on Day 2 in 2019. Through two days, total attendance at the Ex is 64,038.  Yesterday was Throwback Thursday at the EX which included the Grand Opening of the new Saskatoon EX Museum located in the old Log Cabin on the north end of the park. It will house a historical collection of artifacts from fairs-past which now finally have a permanent home and tell the story of the Saskatoon EX as it evolved in tandem with the development of the city itself.

Today is Foodie Friday at the Ex with Paul Brandt performing on the grandstand presented by CJWW, 92.9 The Bull & Dakota Dunes Casino.
