Episode 6: The CNE with Greg Scooter Koreg
In 1977, when he was 17, he ended up working for Paddy Conklin, the man who ran the midway at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). The Ex was the biggest fair in Canada – home to the Flyer, Wild Mouse, and Tilt-a-Whirl. It had the Food Building, Whack-a-Mole, sideshows, and rock concerts that became part of music history. Scooter is now Vice-President with North American Midway Entertainment – he's still working at the Ex.
