VIEX trying something new for 123rd year
NANAIMO — There will be stickier fingers and fuller stomachs at this year’s Vancouver Island Exhibition fair.
Operations manager Stephen Kass told NanaimoNewsNOW 2017 will be a banner year for the VIEx since they’re introducing a ribfest to run all weekend.
From 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the exhibition in the Aug. 18 weekend, families can tuck into ribs from four trucks which came from all across Canada.
Kass said there will also be a new family friendly beer garden for parents to enjoy while they feast.
