According to a report, a decade-old policy of charging drivers an admission fee to access the PEI Provincial Exhibition have now forced the sulky sitters to speak out
.
An article by the CBC has quoted driver Dylan Andrew as saying that his fellow reinsmen help put on a show at the exhibition grounds and that they should be exempt of the charge.
"Twenty-five dollars for the week is just outrageous, I know this is a bigger venue and everything but I don't think it justifies a $25 charge at the door," Andrew was quoted as saying.

I agree with Dylan 100%. I think it is ridiculous to charge the folks who risk their lives to put on a show..... As the P.E.I. government really are the owners and operators of this venue, I think the horsemen should direct their concerns with this policy to the government members. All the best.
