On Thursday, 28,957 people went through the gates of the Saskatoon EX. A news release from Prairieland says the pleasant temperatures meant a steady pace on the midway and a healthy crowd for the Grandstand entertainment and the Kickin’ Horse Saloon Show Stage.

It was Shrine Kid’s Day at the Ex, which is a partnership of the Saskatoon shrine Club, the EX and North American Midway Entertainment. It provides an opportunity for those with activity limitations or participation restrictions a chance to enjoy the EX and 94 kids took part.
