Aug 9, 2011 | 7:17 AM

Saskatoon's Prairieland Park is preparing to host tomorrow's opening day of the Exhibition.

Workers are currently racing to get everything ready for the midway, building everything from food stands to rides.

Prairieland's Director of Events Carl Schlosser says it takes about a thousand people to set up the Exhibition.

That includes hiring around 300 locals.

And Schlosser says there's tons of new entertainment, including a human cannonball and acrobat show.
