 By the 1980s, the WDM and the Exhibition began to distance themselves from each other and by the 1990s the WDM was no longer a part of the exhibition, which in turn all but eliminated any remaining Pion-Era elements; Pioneer Days became "The Ex" and, later, simply "Saskatoon Exhibition".The Saskatoon WDM is noted for its indoor recreation of a 1910-era "boomtown".Actual buildings from the era, combined with recreations, are kept in a climate-controlled environment and filled with artifacts of the time.
