Red Deer Toy Show

Hey Everyone!

Wow! What an incredible day it was yesterday! I can't even begin to say how grateful I am to everyone that helped make this event such a great success. The last three months I had a lot of hopes and dreams for this event...and I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations.

This event would not have been a success without all my great vendors and of course all of the amazing people that showed up with donations for Canadian blood services. Thank you again.

There were also a lot of people behind the scenes that I would like to thank as well. The amazing volunteers (my friends and family that believed in my vision for this event) and that showed up on their days off to be the mechanics that helped make this event run smoothly. Thank you to Red Deer Polytechnic for renting to us the Cenovus Learning Centre, what a great venue. Thank you to X100.7 for the FREE radio advertising, the team there really cared about this event. Thank you for the great collaboration, and it really pumped us up to hear our ad on the radio before the event! Thank you to Hawktail brewery for using their social media multiple times to advertise this event. And of course thank you to Canadian Blood Services, for being at our event to share out information to all of the people. Special shout out to those of you that stopped by the blood services booth to get more information about donating. I know first hand how important blood and tissue donations are for saving lives. Because of the generous support of blood donors my Dad was able to spend another year with my family. My Dad would have been so happy to see the support that this community has provided to this event. Thank you all again.

Stay tooned for my next post with an update with the official amount raised, as mentioned before, all proceeds from this event will be donated to Canadian Blood Services!

I wanted to take some time today to share with everyone the reason why I decided to host this event.
When I was about 5 years old my dad and I started to collect hot wheels. As time went on we had a pretty great collection. We would go out hunting at garage sales, shows and the stores. We would also go to different car shows and events to sell. These are some of my happiest memories!

My Dad passed away in 2022 after fighting for over a year with a rare blood disease. Over the course of a year he needed 49 units of blood. Without those 49 blood donations he would not have had the chance to fight the disease and have that time with his family. I will forever be grateful for blood donors.

I hope this show will help to raise funds and awareness for Canadian Blood Services as well bring people together to have a fun day and share our hobbies with each other!

Here is the map for directions to the Red Deer Toys show. As seen in picture one the blue circle shows the spots reversed for parking. The show is held in the Donald school of business building. Once inside take stairs or elevator to the right and you will see the show at the top.
There will be signs at each turn as well

Hope to see you soon
