While quite a big smaller than Chicago, Westcoaster and London, it is the best show for Canadian TS collectors and it is held in a actual fort.... wbritains will be coming again this year... maybe Andy from K&C will come one day - Canadian collectors would love a chance to meet him in person..... I promise to take pictures again this year...

Could those Treefroggers in attendance please post some pictures of both the show and the setting?

I have posted some wbritains pics and some of the displays. I will see if I have any from the fort from last year. The vendors are in the barracks and the displays are in the block house. The funny thing about fort York is that is practically downtown. The guns face the bank towers in the distance like they are fighting a war with capitalism. There was a small re-enactment when I was there today... small gift store that is super expensive...
