Everyone is invited to take in events at the Fifth Annual South Cariboo Mega Show on May 11-13 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.
“I’m pretty excited; this is my first show,” says Canlan’s office/sales and community program co-ordinator Tara Grinyer.
“It’s been a lot of work, but lots of fun.”
There are a variety of vendors lined up, with displays, products and information ranging from home improvement to recreational vehicles.
Noting there will be home-based businesses booths and local non-profit groups inside Grinyer says part of the parking lot will be taken up with recreational vehicles of all types.
“I’m expecting a lot of people through the doors over the weekend. Admission is by donation, with all proceeds going to KidSport [a program that helps youth play sports even if they can’t afford the registration costs].
It would be great if we could get some local landscaping businesses or “green-thumbs” to call us for space, she says, adding they want to try to keep the businesses as local as possible.
There are some booths still available, but Grinyer advises folks to call as soon as possible because the show is filling fast.
As well as a weekend of browsing and buying at the different vendors and displays, there will be some great prizes to win.
We’ll hold random draws of door prizes at our Canlan booth throughout the weekend, Grinyer says, adding some of the vendors may have their own draw boxes.
“The attending businesses have been very generous.”
The Mega Show will be open Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, call Grinyer or Laura Albert at 250-395-1353, or email tgrinyer@icesports.com.
