Lunenburg County's very own big shot, Italy Cross & Middlewood Fire Dept. canteen fries in hand.  If you listen to CKBW birthday announcements, you know this regular caller!

The Big Ex opens today!

That's right, today marks the opening day of The Big Ex.  No tampering with wrist bands, ya hear?

No visit to the Ex is complete without an order of fish and chips from the Italy Cross & Middlewood Fire Dept. stand.  Same goes for a bag of cinnamon sugar mini donuts.  Sunday's demolition derby is a must attend event.

Check out the schedule for detailed info.

See you at The Ex!

The Big Ex: Who Needs Sunblock?

The Big Ex
Bridgewater, NS
July 25, 2012

Clearly, these guys were not worried about the harmful effects of the sun's rays as they strutted around the exhibition grounds on this fine, sunny day in July.  

Does anyone know why a Newfoundland flag was flying from the building in the background?  I sure don't.

This old fullah was out for a stroll near the main gate, soaking in the gorgeous and sunny day that was July 25th.

Da Big Ex

Heather Lycan graciously permitted me to reproduce her awesome photos from this year's 'Big Ex', I think she managed to capture the soul of this annual event:


Heather thought the sign said "Bear Attack", maybe attacked with hugs? C'mon, how could you stay angry at these friendly sentinels?



...and then some!



File under flagrant misuse of an apostrophe, time for Annie to head back to grammar school!


Trouble brewing in the beer barn? C'mon, his karaoke wasn't 'that' bad...



Security to the rescue! Problem solved.



Carny bingo...even more depressing than usual?



This might be my favourite photo of her set....AC/DC was blasting, and these guys were feelin' it! Hands on railing, heads a' rockin'....they keep getting older, but the girls stay the same age. Giggity.



After seeing one too many wannabe thugs strolling around the grounds, I thought i should attempt to fit in. Shorts pulled down, boxers hiked up, blank crackhead expression on face, I don't think anyone looked twice...


The Ex is thirsty work, time to cool off with a.....Snow One?



None can resist the crack cocaine of the carnival...roll-a-bowl-a-ball!



No evening at The Ex would be complete without the ferris wheel. A great way to end the evening.
