This year was the 100th Anniversary of the Prince George Exhibition (PGX) and it has been getting better and better each and every year leading up to this monumental anniversary. Like always, it was a huge success with numerous midway rides, 4-H competitions, bully riding, Bull Rider's Ball, number amazing food stalls with so many different amazing tastes, live music and shows on the Community Stage throughout the day, Home Arts and Horticulture competitions, Prince George Heritage Lane, logger sports competitions, and one of everyone's (including myself) favourites the pig and duck races. The fair has something for everyone! People come from all over the place to compete in different areas of the fair, and to come enjoy the amazing opportunities for fun with friends and family. With this years event being the 100th Anniversary, they made the fair bigger and better than ever before; with this years fair being topped off with an INCREDIBLE display of fireworks!

Next year the fair will be back yet again, but this time with a name change - the British Columbia Northern Exhibition (BCNE). So even with a name change I will be back next year yet again for another incredible year at the fair! Hope to see you all there!
