It's back for another year and it's an event the whole family can get out to take in.
One of the largest shows of its kind in Western Canada, the Yorkton Farm Toy and Collectors Show is a collectors paradise.
Slated for its 27th year, the show will take place February 11 and 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at St. Mary's Cultural Centre, 240 Wellington Avenue.
Those with an interest in collectibles and antiques will not want to miss this event.
It's a great display of toys, farm scenes, hot rods, antiques and more says organizer Wade Karcha.
It's expected 100 vendors will be on location from across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
Prize draws and good eats are also a big part of the day!
Admission is just $3 per day for those 10 years of age and over and free for anyone under the age of 10. Proceeds are also going to a very worthwhile cause this year - another good reason to venture out to take in the event.
Local three year old, Lyric Solonenko was recently diagnosed with a rare Rhabdoid Tumor. A benefit supper is taking place on February 11 at Tapps to support his family and help them through his treatment in Saskatoon. Proceeds from the Toy Show will also be donated to help the family.
The Tapps evening will see two seatings to accommodate all the people interested in showing up and taking part, one from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and the second from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and 50/50 draws during the night. Tickets are $20 and available at Carpet One, Fabutan and Joey's Kids Apparel.
