Today we took the crew down to Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition, the PNE. I've done similar venues as a teenager, ironic 20 something and now as family guy and I was actually pretty impressed this year. The kids has a blast and I wasn't grossed out by loads of garbage and shady carnies. If you can catch it before the 7th, you should. Here's how the Vancouver Sun descibes it.

VANCOUVER -- Forget the Olympics, next year is the 100th anniversary of the Pacific National Exhibition!
The PNE is looking at all sorts of special ways to celebrate its centennial, including the possibility of big-name concerts at a rebuilt Empire Stadium.

Alas, that’s a year off, and the PNE still has to stage this year’s fair. A “penultimate” PNE, if you will, before the Big Do.

The fair opens today and runs to Sept. 7. To get some buzz going, the PNE has expanded its concert lineup and brought in all manner of new attractions. Still, programmers had to strike a balance with the traditional fair fare the masses know and love.

Here is a SCAN to tap into the conversation on Twitter.
