2017 PNE Thread
 

No matter how boring it is, I make it a point to go at least once a year.

Perogies from Hunky Bills, something from Jimmies, and a Buckeye Root Beer. Hunting for free stuff.

Oh, and visit the jesus tent............


^ taken from last year's thread, Gulolol.


I won't be in Vancouver during the opening, but plan to take in the two freebie days.

PNE aint boring!

The dueling pianos at the beer garden is amazing, hopefully its the same couple as the last few years, they are outstanding.

Picked up our free neighborhood tickets last week, also, Vancity members can get in for $5 everyday this year, i cant remember if you just show your membership card or you need to do somthing else

For someone who's been going for nearly 60 years, it got boring as soon as they got rid of all the buildings and displays. Having said that, the new stuff is a pretty good and have revitalized the "Fair". "Change is good, Donkey."

I was responding to all kinds of "It's boring," comments from previous years.

Anyway, complaining is a Vancouver pastime.......... gulolol. It ain't right, if you're a Vancouverite!

did you know you can buy perogies from Hunky Bills house year long? He also sells pickled garlic which is the best thing ever.

Wear red on August 19 and 20 and only pay $1.50 for admission between 11am - 1pm.

First responders and one guest are free for August 19 and 20.
(Current and retired police, RCMP, ambulance workers, firefighters, military, search & rescue, and Coast Guard personnel need only show a valid First Responders service card at the gate to receive free admission.)

Free admission on both Tuesdays during the Fair period – August 22 and 29 – between 11 am and 1 pm.

The $1.50 deal is only between 11am - 1pm

Just when i thought i was done abusing my body after a summer of weddings and heavy drinking the PNE rolls around just in time lol

mini donuts, corn dogs and beer gardens, looks like the gym is getting postponed a bit longer lol

Yup, dude is like timeless. He looks almost as young as he did when I first visited his stand.

There's something about eating his stuff outdoors at the PNE that is magical.

Tegra_Devil!!!!!!

Where are you???

Been going for 60 years? Dude how old are you?

If I had to guess, nearly 60.

If I had to guess, over 60.

That's not really old, you know............

My mom........ now she's really old at 94.



People who've met me at RS mini-meats say I don't look a day over 45, gulolol. Us Asians look so young. Dick Clark, now that guy kept looking young for a white guy. He passed away in 2012. RIP.........just an FYI.

He's over 9000

Dad is old.

TOS'd, you are still one of my favourite lost sons.......

People don't know for sure, but 9000?...........

probably around 70 years old. mg1

What is this thread about, again?

Oh, right............... Hunky Bills and Jimmie's Lunch.

Mini Doughnuts, Showmart, etc. Dal Richards is no longer, RIP. The smell, the sounds.......



Mini Doughnuts used to be run by a company that sold them little rings of goodness as Tom Thumb Doughnuts among other names.

superdogs, pigraces/farm animals, mini donuts and walking around pretty much at least once a year lol

and whatever new exhibit they have

someone should try that cricket burger/taco and report back

Yeah, I heard that and I jump like a little girl whenever I see bugs. Not going to even think of eating one. I don't care how good it tastes or how much protein it has and shit. I'd rather be forced to stare at Integra Girl for a millennia than to eat a freaking bug........... damn, I'll have to think about what I just said. Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww to both. Yeah, gonna jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

i've been going since the late 60's. how would've you liked to win this dream home?

I might give it a try but i usually go at the end of the year for half a day.

They have the Hockey Hall of Fame exhibit this year, so all you hockey fans should enjoy it. I had a great time visiting the one in Toronto.

Anyone going to the craft beer exhibit? Apparently free samples?
