MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM — A visit to the antiques and collectibles show in Moose Jaw this week “will be like a walk through a museum,” says organizer Garry Davis.
“No matter what your age you will find something that twigs your memory, or reminds you of your grandma. And if it appeals to you, you can take it home.”
The hall at the exhibitions grounds will swell with tables of stuff vendors want to sell.
“We’ve got a bit of everything: toys, toy tractors, glassware, dishes, you name it.”
The used car parts portion of the show has become smaller in recent years but has been replaced with other vendors.
While the kinds of items for sale “are petty much the same as other years,’’ a number of new players have come this year to sell collections or downsize.”
Only a few vacant tables remained a week before the show.
One new vendor is a Moose Jaw metal art word creator.
Admission to the show stays at $6 per person.
A large format canvas photo will be raffled and a 50/50 draw will be held each day.
The show starts at noon Friday going to 8.p m. and resumes at 9 a.m. on Saturday until 5 p.m. at the Moose Jaw Exhibition grounds, 250 Thatcher Drive East.
The annual Antiques Collectibles and Used Car Parts show has been run by the Sukanen Ship Museum for over 40 years.
The show started as a display of collections and a used car parts swap meet.
