FREX 2012

FREX is New Brunswick`s answer to The CNE in Toronto.

It`s great. 

My friend John got us tickets to enjoy it in all it`s glory. lol.  Greesy food, crazy music, nauseating rides, petting zoo, interesting pavillions and happy people of all ages having FUN. There is nothing like `the Ex` - or.. in this case, `the FREX` to wrap up a wonderful summer in the most amusing place I`ve ever been to.

In one of the pavillions, we met a rep. from a company who specializes in geothermal heating for homes and buildings. Very exciting! Lots of energy efficient engineering firms out this way. Good to know for when I start purchasing property and building my retreat centre.

There was a wonderful CHAINSAW carving artist called Monty MacMillion who is incredible. You would not believe he carved all his creations with a chainsaw as many of his pieces are so detailed. He takes special orders so if you are interested, check out his site: http://www.outofalog.com/

Here are a few of the highlights from the day:


I smell cotton candy!

A typical site... the monster vehicles that house all materials and people at the fair.

I love these rides!

Some of the happy animals in the petting zoo area.

Exhibition goers having a blast "whacking moles."

The winning veggies at the farmer's table.

More happy cows enjoying a rest before further admiring.
Sundown at FREX... a happy day.


...till next time... keep having FUN and don't eat too much cotton candy!
