The Midway Looking South
Love, Longing & Lust at the CNE – CNE Archives Exhibit
In this fascinating exhibit, the CNE Archives explores the role that the CNE has played in bringing couples together since its very early days in 1879. Ranging from the Tunnel of Love, to fashion shows and advice for brides to be, to flirting on the midway, to winning stuffed animals to impress a girl, to seamier shows such as Striporama, sex at the EX has been around as long as the fair has. Several vintage postcards are also part of this exhibit. The CNE will encourage visitors to tell us “your story”. On Wednesday & Thursday evenings ( 8 pm), you will also be able to watch “Speed Dating” in action on the Courtyard Stage!
This exhibit runs daily at the Direct Energy Centre throughout the fair. On the CNE map, look for the Heritage Court and the Garden Show. The Archives exhibit is down a long hallway in the Heritage Court. ‘The Ex’ web-site.
