Toronto opened the 135th edition of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) this past weekend, prompting one Vancouver reporter to compare the festivities to her hometown's annual Pacific National Exhibition.
Though there are differences, reporter Carolyn Ali says the CNE was "pretty cool" and gives accolades to a few features in particular.
Up first, the overhead Sky Ride, which she calls, "a kind of flat gondola that stretches across the fairgrounds, giving a bird's-eye view of the action. And hey, a view of the CN Tower doesn't hurt for us tourists..."
Up next, the Cat Show. "I've never seen cats as beautiful as these, and many of the owners were happy to show them off to the public as they waited their turn to be judged," Ali writes. "This totally beat the PNE's Superdogs."
Finally: the food. "The CNE has a whole building housing everything from Bacon Nation to waffle and doughnut sandwiches. A whole building, I say! " she says, recalling when the PNE used to have its own food building "many years ago."
