People turning out in droves for return of IPE
People swarmed the Armstrong Fairgrounds Wednesday for the return of the Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE).
The event has been on a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The gates opened for the 121st IPE at 7:30 a.m., and by 1:45 p.m., more than 1,500 patrons had passed through the gates.
The fair features over 20 fair rides and a dozen games, nearly 100 vendors selling wares from clothing to soaps to jewelery, and over 20 food trucks and vendors.
