Vintage vendors will be on hand with items from years past, and an appraiser will be on hand to take a look at any old items you bring in. Entrance is by donation, appraisals are $5 per an item and it’ll be open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. both days.

If you’re interested in heading out of town, Salmon Arm will be home to Brewswap.
