History of the Edmonton Branch of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild, 1911-1966

“Perhaps the most important event on the Edmonton Guild’s annual calendar was the Edmonton Exhibition. The precursor to K-Days, Capital Ex, and Klondike Days began in the 1870s at the now-vacated Exhibition grounds north of downtown. The Exhibition consistently played host to large-scale handicraft competitions from 1879 until 1962.”
