| IPTC INFO | | Caption | The Central Canada Exhibition Association has been a proud institution in Ottawa Ontario Canada for 109 years. The annual Central Canada Exhibition -- located at Lansdowne Park since its inception -- started out as a small rural fair on the outskirts of Ottawa. Through the years it has watched the city grow up around it until it was no longer on the outskirts but rather in a prime residential area of the city called the Glebe. The exhibition has led the tourist industry in the region annually attracting more than half a million visitors. The Ex has been responsible for many firsts in the city including an electrical show by Thomas Ahearn which was a tremendous feat for the times. Through the exhibition Ottawa has also attracted a number of big-name performers both on their rise to fame and well after they had achieved it. The list includes the likes of Bob Hope and a young Cary Grant then still known as Archie Leach who once performed at the fair as a stilt walker. The Central Canada Exhibition has always been and with good fortune will continue to be the largest annual event in the National Capital region. | | Headline | AUG: Largest event in the National Capital Region. | | Copyright Notice | collections.ic.gc.ca/ | | Date Created | 09/30/2004 | | URL | http://collections.ic.gc.ca/superex | | User | Guest |
