Trade show returns to Kindersley

By Joan Janzen

After a five-year absence, Kindersley and area residents were happy to see the Trade Show return to the WCEC. Thanks to the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, businesses, organizations, and food vendors were able to showcase their products and services during the two-day event held on June 12th and 13th.

The Trade Show kicked off with a bang, with Kevin Martin from the Chamber reporting 130 visitors within the first hour. The event was a veritable treasure trove of services and products, with approximately 70 vendors offering a wide array of offerings, ranging from local crafts and home-based businesses to professional services and non-profit organizations.

The Trade Show was a true reflection of our vibrant community, with a diverse range of participants. Non-profit organizations such as the Air Cadet Squadron, Kindersley & District Plains Museum, Kindersley Royal Purple, Kindersley Fire Department and the Kindersley Legion, along with sports and recreation groups like the curling club and the Jr. Klippers, were present. The event also welcomed educational institutions like Kinder Kollege and Great Plains College and community service providers like the Sask Health Association and Battleford Immigration Resource Centre, who were on hand to provide valuable information to visitors at their booths.

Both the RCMP and the Canadian Armed Forces were present and recruiting. Of course, there were many businesses, services and home businesses, and the ever-popular mini donuts were available for anyone who was hungry.

Overall, it represented the businesses and organizations that help make our community a great place to live and work.
