Fantasies from another era came to life.

There was amazing energy on the Vegreville Agricultural
Denture Clinic
Grounds where this event was held. It felt as if you were transported back in time. Jam-packed crowds were on the grounds with crowds estimated to be in excess of 4,500 people during the three day event. Even during intermittent rain, the show did go on. A large section of the area was blanketed with market stalls and tents where crafters, artisans and merchants sold jewelry and gems. They also had powerful trinkets with spiritual meaning, pretend swords, armour, wood and leather work, food products, toys, authentic clothing, books, soap, décor, bits, bobbles and other unique products. A small section of this area featured a Viking community where attendees could purchase a handcrafted product, have a conversation about the history behind the Vikings, or watch a small demonstration which showcased their love of kinship and nature.
