Fair at the PNE opens at Hastings Park

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      The heat is on in Hastings Park to coincide with opening day of the Fair at the PNE.

      It's the largest youth employer in the province and this year's edition includes the much-anticipated Angry Bird Universe Exhibit.

      One of the big attractions of the fair is the Summer Night Concert Series.

      Most nights, admission is free with a ticket, though it's smart to make reservations.

      Tonight, however, fairgoers will not be able to see Hedley unless they purchase a separate concert ticket.

      The fair continues until September 5 but will be closed on August 22 and 29.

      This year, the Fair at the PNE will be missing one of its stalwarts: band leader Dal Richards, who passed away last New Year's Eve. He'll be missed.
