Pick a card … any card!
The fifth annual Border City Card Show will fill the Gold Horse Casino from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 22 while raising money for school lunch programs in Onion Lake Cree Nation.
“Whether the hobby is Pokémon, hockey, baseball, basketball, Magic: The Gathering … whatever they’re into collecting, there’s something for everybody there,” said organizer Chris Brinklow.
As for the charitable aspect of the event, Brinklow noted proceeds from each show have been donated to a local non-profit organization.
Brinklow also explained the show has seen significant growth over the years.
“We started with a small show at Border City Games and have seen things really grow from there,” said Brinklow.
“I felt like we could be bigger, and two years later we hosted the show at the LloydMall and had 28 tables set up.”
Last year’s event, which was also hosted at the Gold Horse Casino, featured 52 tables. Brinklow expects even bigger numbers this year.
“We’re still turning people away at 54 tables. That’s our maximum, I don’t think we can fit anymore,” he said.
For Brinklow, the card show is all about sharing his passion with others.
