33rd Border City Collectors Showcase A Success

The 33rd annual Border City Collectors Showcase at the WLS Convention Centre in Lloydminster drew crowds from across the region this past weekend, delighting antique enthusiasts and collectors alike. Hosted by the Lloydminster Border City Collectors Club, the two-day event offered a treasure trove of rare finds, nostalgic pieces, and unique collectibles.

With over 100 vendors filling the convention centre, attendees spent Friday evening and all of Saturday browsing and buying everything from antiques, glassware, and oil and gas collectibles to farm and construction toys, dolls, coins, sports memorabilia, records, and more. Collectors searching for that elusive item to complete a collection were not disappointed, while casual visitors enjoyed discovering the stories behind the vintage items on display.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with families, hobbyists, and serious collectors mingling and sharing their passion for the past. Affordable admission prices made it accessible for everyone, and the on-site concession kept shoppers fueled for hours of browsing.

Event organizers reported strong attendance throughout both days, and the showcase also gave back to the community, with all proceeds going toward local charities. Visitors and vendors alike praised the event as well-organized, enjoyable, and a highlight of the region’s annual calendar.

For those inspired by the show, the Border City Collectors Club continues to welcome new vendors and collectors to future events, ensuring that the charm of collecting and the joy of sharing history remain a staple in Lloydminster.
