A new Westerner Days Fair and Exposition record has been broken.
Attendance at the 2012 Westerner Days, which ran five days, ending Sunday, hit 102,665 people.
It was up over nine per cent from last year’s record-breaking attendance numbers, Westerner Park marketing manager Erin Gobolos said Monday.
Last year’s record was 94,000 people, which generated an estimated gross economic impact of $7.3 million.
“We are ecstatic,” Gobolos said.
