On top of that, there will be a craft fair at the Agribition building and programming in the AffinityPlex.

Parking is on a first-come basis unless you have prepaid for Rider gameday parking or have Regina Pats VIP parking. There will be a designated parking area for each event.

Mark Rathwell, communications manager for Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) wants the public to be prepared.
