It brings more than 100 thousand visitors to Regina.

The 38th Canadian Western Agribition gets into high gear Monday at Regina's Evraz Place. There are a couple of events this weekend.

A big turnout is expected; the barns and trade show are full. But general manager Jason Pollock admits the number of entries is down a bit from last year. He chalks it up partly to a lack of available farm labour.

Organizers say Agribition pumps more than 16 million dollars into the provincial economy, 12 million of that just in the Regina-Moose Jaw area.
