The Interior Provincial Exhibition proved popular.
A total of 149,782 people passed through the gates of the Armstrong fair between Wednesday and Sunday.
“As the clean up continues, a huge thanks to all of the guests who visited the IPE, the sponsors, the volunteers, the City of Armstrong, the RCMP and everyone involved,” states the IPE on Facebook.
There were 150,170 at the fair last year.
Look for more in Wednesday’s Morning Star.
