The Hobby, Craft, and Gun Show made its in-person return to Swift Current over the weekend, drawing an impressive crowd. 

Thousands of people were in attendance for the event that took place Saturday and Sunday at the Stockade Building at Kinetic Park 

One of the attendees was Swift Current Mayor Al Bridal, who noted that these types of events have a large economic impact on the city. 

“It's a great economic boom for the city, but one of the big things about these events, it just gives our citizens something that they like doing,” he said. “And it's just good for citizens and people from out of town coming in.” 

The event had been postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
