(For more articles on PAEX click )
The Prince Albert Exhibition Association has had a very rewarding year. At the annual convention held in Saskatoon earlier this year, the Canadian Association of Fairs & Exhibitions awarded PAEX first prize for its Internet web site. In March of this year, the Exhibition Association also received the Achievement of the Year Award from the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies & Exhibitions.
One of this year's major achievements for the Association is the new addition to the Exhibition Centre. The addition provides seating for 256 people, or can be partitioned off to seat 112 or 144 persons. This beautiful new facility for conventions, dinners, weddings and gatherings also houses the general office and Boardroom.
Once again it's Fair Time! The Annual Summer Fair is celebrating its 114th edition. There have been a lot of changes and new features added over the years to make this the number one summer event for the whole family. PAEX is featuring a one price gate, West Coast Amusements midway and the outdoor attraction is the Broken Top Lumber Jack Show.
