Since I moved to Saskatoon 12 years ago, I have attended this event every year, without fail. I don't mind that the price has risen a little over the years, but each year it seems as if there is just a little less show, and perhaps a little more showmanship. It broke my heart when they discontinued the lawnmower races, but at least I still had the demolition derby and the tough-truck competition. This year there were only a few vehicles in the tough-truck competition, and the demolition derby seemed like an afterthought. They did however manage to add an Elvis impersonator to the show. <sigh> Don't get me wrong, I know this is mainly for the kids, and that's cool. My 9 year-old boy loved it, as always, and this year we brought his younger sister, 5, who also enjoyed it, just not as much. As for me, I used to look forward to this for my own enjoyment, too. Now, not so much.
