Mad Decent isn’t free…
Why in your greater wisdom have you “closed” on Aug.24 & 31 ? I don’t recall this ever happening before. Is there a power struggle taking place between you and Hastings Park ?
Hi Wayne,
I believe it was a decision of the PNE a few years ago to close on Mondays in general, as a cost-savings measure.
Here’s a story from 2013: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-s-pne-to-cut-admission-and-close-mondays-1.1327397
