Calgary Toy Show & Sale (Collectible toy market)

The Calgary Toy Show & Sale is a big indoor swap meet for toys, held each spring and fall. All 83 vendor tables for this edition sold out within minutes, spread across the gym and two side rooms, and prices run from $1 to more than $100. Your admission ticket enters you in door-prize draws through the day. Collectors line up early, so families with young kids may find more room after lunch. A Mini Donuts Canada truck parks outside, and proceeds support Inn From the Cold, a Calgary charity for families facing a housing crisis.
