Hensall proves farm toy collecting popular
BY SUSAN OXFORD
Sunday was time for the Hensall Kinsmen Clubs' Third Annual Farm
Toy Show and Sale, and it was another successful venture for the
service club. Collectors from the Southwestern Ontario came out to the
Hensall Community Centre to display their collections, and sell and
trade their wares. People with new and old farm toys were on hand, too,
to sell toys to collectors or to people who just like to play with farm
toys.
The farm toy show was arranged by Kinsmen member Marvin Taylor
who has been arranging the event for the past three years. Mr. Taylor
has been collecting tarm toys as a hobby for the past eight years and he
has attended many farm toy shows. He has a collection of 160 farm
toys that are scaled 1/64 and are so small that one farm toy can fit into
the palm of his hand. Over the years Mr. Taylor has been going to
shows and sales, meeting other people interested in farm toy collecting,
and three years ago he decided to get a show going in Hensall.
The Hensall Farm Toy show raises money from admission and sale
tables and the money is directed by the Kinsmen club towards com-
munity services in Hensall, including minor hockey, minor baseball, and
figure skating. This year Mr. Taylor estimates about $500 was raised
from the farm toy show and sale in Hensall. He said, "That's up a little
bit from last year. The show was well attended this year and it was
better than last year. It's getting better every year."
Sunday there were about 37 people displaying their collections or
selling old and new farm toys. There were some new displays and many
of the people who've displayed farm toys at the past two Hensall shows
were at this year's show and sale.
Mr. Taylor plans on having another farm toy show and sale in Hensall
next year.
"It's getting more popular every yea, r to collect farm toys," said Mr.
Taylor. "This year alone there's about 30 farm toy shows and sales
planned for Southwestern Ontario, and that shows there's quite an
interest."
