The largest home, leisure and consumer show in the Ottawa Valley returned once again with the 2019 Spring SHOWCASE in Petawawa. Hundreds of curious visitors walked through the Petawawa Civic Centre on April 24, 25 and 26. Entry is always free and in addition to the arena full of vendors, people could enjoy other activities like face painting, costume characters, petting zoos and live music. The event is owned and operated by GallantMEDIA. (Above left) Capener Creation makes artisan soup mixes, BBQ rubs, dip mixes, and more and had some samples for people to try. Roy Moffett and Terry Capener were more than happy to find the perfect mix for you.
