SuperEx attendance higher than last year

The president of Ottawa's SuperEx says a focus on value for money drew high attendance numbers at this year's fair.

The SuperEx drew 422,000 people over the course of the 11-day exhibition, which filled Lansdowne Park with bright lights, rides and live music.

Although the numbers surpassed last year's attendance figures by three per cent, organizers still fell short of their goal to attract half a million people.
