WEST Handmade and Vintage Sale VI Wrap-up

Can you believe the WEST Handmade and Vintage Sale VI was only a few days ago? WEST was pleased to host our 6th Handmade and Vintage Sale, which was held at the Holy Cross Gym on Saturday. The sale ran from 11-4 and we were oh-so excited to see over 1400 people come through the doors to visit our 48 vendors, talented musicians (Oakhorn Music, Alan Wong, Allanah Zeebeck, Tannis Kelm), one stacked canteen (featuring Other Brother Roasters and Jonnies Sticky Buns), as well as take part in the Make-It Table hosted by Michael's Polo Park!

On to the photos!

WEST Sale VI - Vendor List Part 3 of 5

WEST's annual holiday sale will be packed with handmade and vintage sellers. With free admission, free parking, and a free "make it" table, plus coffee, snacks, and live music, it's an event you can't miss.

The more than 45 Manitoba-based vendors will be selling everything from burlap wreaths to comedic holiday cards to steampunk goggles to collapsible hula hoops. Here are a few of those vendors and their items, although the specific items pictured here may not be available on November 8.

Join us at the Holy Cross Gymnasium at 290 Dubuc Street between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm and visit these great vendors: (this is part 3 of a 5 part series, so don't forget to keep checking back here for a preview of all the vendors)
