More than 3000 people visited the West Kootenay Trade Show held in Castlegar April 25-27.
The event featured 76 vendors displaying or selling a wide variety of products from chocolates and olives to flooring and tractors.
Some vendors pulled out all the stops including Kalesnikoff who set up a two-room modular build an a mass timber arch to showcase what the company is manufacturing at its West Kootenay facilities. Trowelex also had a large outdoor display featuring construction and safety products as well as lawnmowers and machinery.
As always, the collection of food trucks were a popular stop to fuel up.
The event was organized by the Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber's executive director Tammy Verigin-Burk said she was pleased with the diverse variety of vendors this year.
"We had many people say that it was the best show ever," said Verigin-Burk.
