Another year and another Agribition came to an end last week.

Last year Agribition showed less people coming in with really cold weather. The number of who all visited Agribition last year was 125000 which showed a drop of roughly 11000 people. (Leader Post). This year there seems to an increase in the number of traffic because of the spring like temperatures. Marty Seymour (CEO) of Agribition says that it is the biggest show in the country and it pumps almost 27 million CAD to the Regina economy. And the board is absolutely sure that they have no plans of moving outside Regina for the Agribition.

“It’s a sign of the vibrancy of agriculture (and) the food business that we’re in,” Marty Seymour said

Planning has already started on next year’s Agribition, slated for Nov. 19 to 24.
More and more national programs like this contribute to the growth of Regina`s economy and especially with Regina ready to host the Grey Cup in 2013 its going to get more noticed and hopefully a lot more to come.
