The PNE certainly brings back big memories. Me, being from around Toronto as a child have all my memories of the CNE, which is the Canadian wide X, but it is all good things! MJ,

So, of course, Playland was a hit. I don't remember it being called that, but I sure remember hanging out with friends and enjoying the rides. I also remember an odd midway game. I think it was called Oscar the Mouse, and it had a mouse dropped into the middle of a spinning board. He ran for the edge, and people bet on what color shoot he'd go into. I remember feeling very sorry for that mouse. Ahhhh, childhood memories! As a kid, living close to the US-Canada border, we’d frequently visit the PNE. So, of course, Playland was a hit.
