I saved the $20 in parking and parked on the side street about a block from the Mcdonalds where it wasn't resident only parking. It's a 10 minute walk but whatever. The best part of the PNE for me was watching my son get on the kids version of the hellevator having no idea what it was and screaming like a girl with a look of genuine fear for his life everytime it dropped. I was laughing so hard I actually had tears in my eyes.

Had a blast yesterday as well! Went to Gator's BBQ and got the rib + pulled pork combo. Share with a friend and load up on sawwwws.
Oh, and if you paid full admission, I recommend watching the Chinese Acrobatics show. I was pretty impressed and I would pay $16 just to watch it.

I tried the shooting star game and the accuracy of the pellet gun was TERRIBLE.. it was firing all over the place.. I remember it being better :S maybe it was the gun? And the ladder game is tough, I watched vids on youtube on how to do it but still failed lol

I forget the names, but I tried the local place (N. Van?) and the one from the prairies.
The prairies had a bit of a sweeter taste, so i liked the N Van one better.

I've tried gators and the one next to it, prairie something I think.
Gators gave me the best deal, $20 for the vegetarian nightmare, he also loaded me up with extra everything, maybe cause I work there? Didn't ask.
Sauce was good, but wasn't the best meat. Ribs didn't fall off the bone, pulled pork was a bit tougher, brisket was almost %50 fat.
Tasted good though.
Same platter at Prairie place (Beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs)
Also got a side of beans and coleslaw. extra $1 per side, one included. so cost $23.
Ribs fell off the bone, pork was tender. brisket was juicy meat with just a thin fat cap.
Top off the night with getting a bunch of drunk idiots evicted by force and it's a good day for me.
Want to try the other 2 bbq places but dunno if I want to spend another $44.
I might try the tri tip at the last stand on the left. Always liked that cut.
