Feel like a kid again and enjoy viewing and purchasing collectible toys later this month in Almonte. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is hosting its annual Collectible Toy Show and Sale at the Almonte Civitan hall on January 29th, and everyone is welcome.
Doors open at 9am and the show runs until 2pm. It is only a one day show, so come early to ensure you’re not disappointed. The agency is striving to present a well balanced selection of contemporary and vintage diecast replicas ranging from farm toys, construction equipment to truck replicas. NASCAR , car replicas and other vehicle offerings will also be showcased. Model trains will also be available to view and purchase, along with many other collectible toys. With over 20 vendors and exhibitors, there will be something to see for the whole family. Last year’s event drew in almost 300 people from all over Eastern Ontario, and many of the same vendors and exhibitors are returning this year to showcase their collections and new items for sale. Admission is only $5 at the door, with children under 12 free. There will be door prizes to make this day even more entertaining. The Almonte Civitan Club will have their canteen open for the event. All net proceeds from the Toy Show will be used to help continue mentoring programs for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, a local children’s charity. The agency provides one on one and group mentoring programs for over 160 children throughout the County.
