81-Year-Old Fair Fan Gets Golden Ticket | Toronto News
Description
An 81-year-old Ontario legend, Barbara Jean Batten, has attended the Canadian National Exhibition every single year since birth—making her possibly the most devoted fairgoer ever. In honor of her incredible streak, the CNE is giving her a one-of-a-kind “golden ticket” for lifetime access. Her bond with the fair runs deep, even predating her birth—her dad competed there in the 1930s, and she once brought her gravely ill sister for her final wish. The CNE plans to turn this into an annual tradition, celebrating lifelong fans like her, following past quirky events including a wedding on the midway. Barbara’s golden ticket means more than just entry—it’s a promise to keep her cherished traditions alive, from playing the Birthday Game to watching the SuperDogs.
