We are so excited to be back at the Stettler Trade Show on April 8, 9 and 10.
This will be a long-awaited return to Trade Show; word is that there will be over one hundred and twenty-five vendors with entertainment including: an Elvis tribute, Snow Circus, magic, agility dogs, a puppet show and more.
What a fantastic way to spend your weekend and see all the cool products and services available locally!
