About Denise

Denise was very excited to be a blogger for the CNE this year. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences at the exhibition with everyone. Originally from Toronto, it was a yearly summer end treat each year. Still to this day the CNE has a magical effect. The dazzling lights of the rides at night. The different smells from the vendors selling everyone's favorite treats. The people working the midway calling people in to take a chance – try this game. The sites of small children with evidence of candy floss left on their faces as their eyes glisten with pleasure. Every time Denise goes to the exhibition she finds something new and exciting. No visit to the CNE is ever the same. There is something there for everyone. There is just so much to see and so much to do – she really doesn't think it can be experienced in one day. Two of her favorite activities are the Horse Building and the Food Building.

I would first like to comment on the cleaning staff in the Food Building.  Upon each visit I was constantly seeing staff cleaning the tables and washrooms in the building.  The tables where people sit and eat in the Food … Continue reading →
