This year’s PNE is loaded with entertainment for everyone and today is a sci-fi fan’s dream date! It’s Star Trek Day at The Fair!
Star Trek: The Next Generation stars Brent Spiner (Data) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) appear onstage at the WestJet Concert Stage at 2pm to take questions from the audience followed by an autograph session at 2:30.
Star Trek Day is part of the Fair’s Star Trek: The Exhibition. This exhibition, free with PNE admission, brings 45 years of Star Trek to life, showcasing one-of-a-kind costumes, props, sets and filming models from all five live-action television series and eleven feature films that will amaze and inspire both experienced and novice Trekkers and Trekkies.
Visitors can walk aboard the bridge of the USS Enterprise, explore Dr. Crusher’s sickbay from Star Trek: The Next Generation and sit in James T. Kirk’s captain’s chair. They can also have a picture taken with a favourite character in front of a giant green screen, and purchase memorabilia in the Star Trek store.
