Places : Canadian National Exhibition






RAZ decided to drop by the CNE this year and enjoy a nice summer day!  Mostly went to try the acclaimed food, it seemed like almost everything revolved around bacon!  We tried the Bacon Explosion!  Then there was the Krispy Kreme Burger and the Red Velvet Pancake Pulled Pork Sandwich.  Let's not forget the infamous Deep Fried Mars Bar.  Talk about calorie overload!  Glad we walked it off and then stuck around till the nightlife picked up.  Captured some awesome lighting shots via the Conklin rides.  Really wanted a bubble gun, but figured...we have one already! LOL!  

With the new Sky Ride, it's about a $5 ride each person if you don't have a Ride Day Pass.  We opted out as it was a bit pricey, although there was a huge lineup. Was sad to see Ontario Place wasn't open.  What are they going to build there anyway?  The sand sculptures were really unique, we took our time to admire all the details and hard work that went into each one.  Tobin says he forgot how cotton candy tastes like...but we didn't get one because there's no way we'd be able to finish it.  Will probably go again next year...maybe we'll have the courage to go on one of those crazy rollercoasters.

Giving Back : Thinking Forward


An industry hairstylist friend of mine will be helping out a great cause for his upcoming Birthday. For every person that writes “Happy Birthday” on his Facebook wall (that he has personally invited to the event), he’s going to donate $1 to THINKING FORWARD for each person. What an awesome idea!

In good will, RAZ Magazine has decided to also make a small donation towards THINKING FORWARD. THINKING FORWARD seeks to bring together children, youth and adults with common values that resonate across cultures to impact Toronto for the greater good. They’re a great cause and if you want more information or would also like to help show some support via a donation, their website is : www.thinkingforward.ca
