The annual tradition that is the Olds Gun & Antique Show is coming to the Olds Regional Exhibition Grounds this weekend.
Show Manager Linda Toews mentions that this is the 12th edition of the event and it will bring a great group of vendors to the Future Ag Events Centre (the Cow Palace). She says “coins, currency, all kinds of different collectibles – not just antiques but other collectibles too. 250 tables, so it is actually a fairly large show. Every year we have many of the same vendors return and we get new ones too and it is just so wonderful to see all of the different people and all of the different things they bring to the show.”
A portion of the proceeds will help support four local organizations. Toews says “this year we are helping out Special Olympics Olds & District, Wild Rose Go Getters Women’s Institute, Olds & District Special Family Voices, and 1st Olds Scouts. We are so happy that we are able to contribute to the community and give to these really worthy organizations.”The admission charge is $10 and children under 12 get in for free when accompanied by an adult.
Saturday’s hours for the Olds Gun & Antique Show are 9am until 5pm and on Sunday it runs from 10 o’clock until 3pm.
