Past Events
Spring 2014
We had a gorgeous weekend to celebrate the spring opening sale of Grandpa’s Horse Stable. Hundreds of visitors came to explore the many treasure of Grandpa’s Horse Stable and enjoy a sold-out concert by singer/songwriter Anne Walker preforming in our little white church.
Our youngest shopper found a basket that fit her perfectly!
Christmas 2013
Our Christmas sale was another success. It was a pleasure to see so many of our regular customers back and to meet so many new visitors too! We hope the hot apple cider and cookies helped ward off some of the cold and that you and those on your Christmas list enjoy your “finds” from Grandpa’s Horse Stable. We wish everyone a very happy holiday and a prosperous new year. We look forward to seeing you in the spring!

Canada Day
Our Canada Day Sale was a hit with all our regular customers and many new faces. Beautiful Sunny weather made treats on the Sugar Shack patio an enjoyable way to relax after perusing the many many antiques and collectibles on display. On Friday Great Grandma joined us to demonstrate the age old art of spinning and on Saturday the team of majestic percheron horses pulled guests through the glorious fields of yellow canola and baled hay.

Our Spring Opening 2010 and special Mother’s Day event at Grandpa’s Horse Stable Antiques & Collectibles was a big success in-spite of the cold weather.
Special Exhibit on Mother’s Day – ” A Victorian Mother’s Day”
On Sunday May 9th a photographic exhibit of Victorian Children’s and Mother’s fashions was on display at Coulson Church on the Corner of the Walker Farm.
