I had the Taco Nori Chicken Karaage and it was good. The collosal onion thing. Always good. Mini doughnuts and that was it. Escaped without spending too much. Oh, the PNE house tickets.

Went last night, actually felt a bit better than previous years in terms of entertainment
The monet exhibit is pretty sweet for free, and the high diving was pretty crazy and a quick entertaining show. Had typical hunky bills and a corn dog, felt pretty satisfied

Just got back from the PNE. Went with daughter. Had a great time. Wasn't crowded, so experience was better than previous years. Free parking. Can't beat that. The Remix Inferno was good. Better than last year. Dueling Pianos was very entertaining. People in the audience were dancing and really getting into it. Weather behaved itself. I feel sorry for the vendors. Little to no business. I missed the high dive thing.......... damnit

Spent the better part of the day yesterday at the PNE with my 4 year old and she had a blast. The lineups for the rides were really long so we only did 1 ride but otherwise I was surprised at how time flew for us.
I did LOL at one of the food stand tip machines giving me a range of 15-30% tip options - dude, you're just handing me food through a window.

The high dive into the water was pretty entertaining.. The performers were super impressive and the guy who jumped off the very top was pretty spectacular.

So my take on it is 2022 must have been a really shitty year for attendance. I remember the PNE to be like the episode of Star Trek………… The Mark of Gideon. Shoulder to shoulder crowds as far as the eye could see. Crazy view from the ski lift they had there at one time or from the giant Ferris Bueller Wheel. Don’t think it’ll ever be like that again. Unless, they bring back free attendance days again.

The construction of the new amphitheater basically cut 1/4 of the space out of the PNE side
Wouldn’t doubt they have quite low turn out this year

Moms grilled cheese has a birria grilled cheese they did with Top Rope Birria which I’ll probably get next time I go
Had the bbq chicken last time I went was trash. Hunky bills perogies were decent like usual. Not really that much to try that’s crazy this year.. Jamaican me juicy always hits the spot with those Jamaican Pattie’s

I go because it's free and I get free parking as well so a no brainer to pass time for a day in late August. The day I went the weather was fine, perfect actually no rain, not hot and not cold but it was deeeeeead. Like depressing level dead I actually felt sorry for everyone involved. The look on the face of vendors both food and otherwise said it all that day.

I've been going every year for over 60 years, lol............ beat that!
Tickets were free for all students who attended Vancouver schools. VSB, ftw! Free notebooks, pens, pencils, etc. My mom kept a few of them. Lined at the bottom and space to draw on at the top. Scared to see what's in it. Probably pictures of the devil and people getting their heads chopped off...........

Went today with wife and 5 year old and had a nice little time there. Stuff like SuperDogs and the pig races are things my kid loves and I don't mind getting bent over on food prices cause some of that stuff is just stuff you don't otherwise get to eat much like corn dogs, the donuts, the lemonade etc.
$22 for tickets for the 3 of us, $25 for parking, and I think we spent about $70 on food. Not a bad way to spend the day IMO.
