Tamara Dyck, event coordinator for the Lloyd Ex, said it’s a great way to start spring.
“As Canadians, we get tired of winter, and it’s nice to remind ourselves there is other seasons,” said Dyck, noting vendors came in from across Saskatchewan and Alberta. “Hopefully, this event shows spring and summer are not far off.”
Gwen Bethel, owner of Layna Lamps and Treasures, travels to Lloyd frequently for events.
“Lloydminster is good for me, the people here are always good for business,” said Bethel.
Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers said the show is a great annual event.
“The leisure and sports show has been an annual tradition for many years,” said Aalbers. “We missed it last year, but it’s a great opportunity to showcase businesses from again across Western Canada and a lot of local businesses.”
Dyck hoped venders and customers were able to help each other out at the event.
“I hope the vendors get some sales from being here,” said Dyck. “I hope visitors get some knowledge on everything here, including the RVs.”
The leisure show is part of a series of events at the Lloydminster Exhibition. The full list of upcoming events can be found on their website.
