The appeal of fun, sun and travel was what motivated Brian Mann to get a job at the fair at age 19.

Now, almost 30 years later, Mann loves his career with West Coast Amusements more than he did when he started.

Additional comments

Brian Mann said his favourite part of working at the fair is all the travelling he gets to do.

"You get to see all different kinds of country. There was a time where once in a while we’d go down into the States. We used to travel as far as Manitoba. You see all parts of Canada. You meet people constantly," said Mann, adding that he enjoys visiting Moose Jaw as well.

West Coast Amusements secretary manager Wendy Hauser said she had a positive feeling about how the fair would go this weekend.

"Things are good in Saskatchewan. We're really optimistic. It's going to be a good fair," said Hauser. "I'm most looking forward to good weather, the crowds and that everybody has a good time."
