After a four-year absence, the annual antiques, collectibles and used vehicle parts show has returned to Moose Jaw.
“It’s sure nice to see it back,” said Garry Davis, spokesman for the event run by the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum.
“We had one ready to go in 2019 and then a week before we had to cancel it’’ because of the sudden pandemic lockdown.
The show and sale at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Convention Centre covers a wide range of items that people might want to see or buy.
“We have 160 tables. We’re a few short” of what was a sellout.
New vendors to the show include coin dealers and toy sales.
“We have one fellow from Gravelbourg who re-purposes furniture. He takes old pieces and uses them to make stuff. That’s interesting.”
Other tables range from hardware, car parts, old machinery manuals, to long play 33 RPM vinyl records, books housewares, advertising signs, Dinky toys, cast iron toys and Meccano.
Two women from the Radville area who alway have tables of their collections will be back along with other new vendors.
“Come on out and enjoy he show,” he invited.
A new feature this year is a 50-50 draw and sale of out-of-print cookbooks from the 1970s.
The show has attracted about 1,500 people in past years over two days, running from noon to 8 p.m. Friday, March 17 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 18.
