I remember winning a Run DMC mirror that was the size of a 12 inch record.I enjoyed going to the Ottawa Ex as a kid and seeing the concerts. When i was a teenager i always tried to get to at least 1 concert each year. The Ex was the last event of summer. I would always hold onto to summer as long as i could because once summer ended it meant back to school. My dad had connections with Amusements of America who ran the rides at the Ex and we got Gold Passes a couple of years! We still had to lineup for the rides, but we just showed the rides operator the gold pass and we could go on pretty much unlimited rides. We only got that a couple of years but we always got a lot of free ride tickets every year. I was more of a games junky. Even though the games seemed fixed and the prizes were just stuffed animals I liked the games more than the rides.
I also miss the old Rough Riders CFL football. When the actual game was important, not the gameday experience.
Can't forget the mini
Bus drivers used to just do a smoke shows on their routes with these ones. They were awesome.
Some of the buses in the early 80's were still manual with a really long stick shift. I think all of the mini buses were. nothing like a fresh blanket of snow and taking rides holding on to the bumpers snow skiing style lol.
I used to live in a co-op growing up and every Christmas the would have a slay ride for the kids and families.
That wouldn't be a very nice Christmas. lolIf only....
