On Twitter, the Ex mentioned the $5 after 5pm admission special for today. It's actually $6 per the main website.

I had a good day at the CNE on Wednesday. I recommend the Poutine Balls from Vienna, and the Deep Fried Rice Pudding from Fran's. Very tasty.

Has anyone had good luck with getting freebies at the CNE this year? I didn't see much. But if you go, be on the lookout for:
1. fridge thermometer and/or meat thermometer (from Toronto Public Health table in Food Building)
2. bag of dog food (given out after Super Dogs show)
3. Kinder Egg (for kids only, in kids area by Dufferin Gate)

You went on Food Products Day

[fegonia]

Yes, I thought I would go and see what Food Products Day is like because I have never been on that day before. Long wait, but I got $20 of food money. Have you been yet?

@fegonia -no, I have not yet attended. Thus my interest in reports by SCers who have gone!
