The late Paul Hoeffler carted off this six foot fibre glass darkroom sink at the 1998 fall fair
Toronto. Next up in our 2025 events will be the fall fair on October 19th at Trident Hall. In issue 24-4, at our 1998 fall fair chairman Larry Boccioletti had this to say, “Larry Boccioletti reports that good weather and plenty of publicity brought happy faces and an attendance of 1320 paying customers to this year’s Fall Fair.
“Some 151 tables were sold with six additional tables being given free to camera clubs to promote their objectives. A lot of equipment exchanged hands with some very rare items being spotted by the experts and photo aficionados.
“Now it’s time to start planning for the coming Spring Sale scheduled for Sunday March 21st 1999 at the same location, the Queensway Lions Club, 3 Queensway Lions Court, Toronto. There may be fewer tables available so it’s imperative to reserve early. Call Mark Singer, Spring Fair Chairman”.
The article had a large photo essay as well courtesy of our editor, the late Bob Lansdale. The days of big shows at the Queensway Lions Club are long gone, as is the Queensway Lions Club as a large show venue.
Today we run our fairs at the Trident Hall at Evans and Islington. Enjoy the summer, and get ready for this year’s fall fair! A great opportunity to enhance your collection and move those less desirable (to you) goodies.
