ESTEVAN — The B&T Gun Show made its return to Estevan on the weekend, and it proved to be a popular event.
The seventh edition of the exhibition was held Saturday and Sunday at the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch. Twenty vendors and 62 tables were set up in the legion’s main and small halls, and many turned out to view the selection.
Organizer Kevin Thompson said the number of tables is down by about 30 from previous years due to the space constraints associated with the legion, but there was still a good flow of people.
“There are lots of firearms here. Lots of antique stuff. There are great knife makers. We have knife makers on both sides of the building,” said Thompson.
Other items were also available, since the event is about more than just firearms.
Thompson said it was nice to see everybody once again. He hadn`t seen some of the people at the gun show in more than two years.
The proceeds of this event are going to the Estevan Legion. Thompson noted the proceeds were to be directed to the Legion back in 2020, but the gun show was cancelled that year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They also weren’t able to have one last year.
