Fur Tables This Weekend

The Thompson Fur Tables will be taking place this weekend at St. Joseph’s Hall as Fur Traders from across Northern Manitoba will make the trip to the city.

 

Lane Boles, from the Manitoba Trappers Association says that participants will do a lot of shopping in Thompson over the weekend and even come back to businesses in other times of the year. The Fur Tables have helped businesses and helped grow the economy in Thompson.  

 

The two day event, which takes place on Friday and Saturday, has up to 5 licensed fur dealers gather annually in one hall and inspect each trapper’s lot of fur. Each dealer provides a quote for the lot and the trapper selects the best price. In this way the trapper benefits from the on-sit4e competitive demand for their furs.

 

Everyone is invited to come down, as there are draws and games for family and tutorials about trapping throughout the two day event.
