The Royal Bison!

⚡️⚡️⚡️That's it, that's all! Thank you to our incredible vendors and customers for 16 years of art, design, craft and general weirdness. It's been one heck of a run. Catch y'all further on down the trail⚡️⚡️⚡️

It's your last chance to say farewell to the Royal Bison. Our doors are open for one last time, 10-4 today. Engage your preferred mode of mobilization/transportation and come on down to support the best local you'll ever find 😘 #yeg royalbison.ca

Last hurrah starts today at 5pm. That's right, this Royal Bison is gonna retire after this weekend, so come on out, support local, and say hello one last time before we head out to pasture. #yeg royalbison.ca

SACE is thrilled to be invited to the final @TheRoyalBison this Friday, Dec. 1 from 5 to 9 pm! Please stop by our community table and say hi! We will have our consent-themed greeting cards for purchase, with all proceeds going to SACE services. 💜#yegArts #yeg

On Bison Saturday, consider a nice meander in Old Strathcona, some tasty treats, and some super exciting times at the Royal Bison. We would call that grazing, but we think you humans call it 'shopping.' 10-5 today, 10-4 tomorrow!

Bison mode = activated 🦬 We’re all set up at @theroyalbison! Come by tonight until 9, and both days this weekend, for some quality reading material and so much more.

Browse the beautiful boutique-like displays from independent vendors selling unique handmade clothing, jewellery, accessories, artwork, toys, and magazines @theroyalbison. bit.ly/3sH0Ucf #yegevents #yegarts

It's just come to our attention that today is 'Black Friday.' We assume it is entitled as such to commemorate the end of Royal Bison, which is very kind. We are honoured. Weekend 1 of 2 starts today at 5pm. Shop local, yeah? royalbison.ca

Can a Bison have a swan song? Like, probably. We're into interspecific mutualism over here. Swans are cool. Anyway, thanks to @edmontonjournal for the kind words! Beloved Royal Bison Art and Craft Fair makes its final appearance edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/… via @edmontonjournal

Thanks to @CBCradiotara for featuring our looming retirement after this holiday season. Some kind words from some of our favourite vendors made even this grumpy old Bison a little teary-eyed. cbc.ca/player/play/22…

Having mentored a replacement market to sustain the legacy of the 16-year-old @theroyalbison, longtime lead organizer Vikki Wiercinski is transporting its community-building "DNA" into something called a risograph. edmonton.taproot.news/news/2023/11/2… #yegarts #yeghistory

Curious about what's next for the Royal Bison? Thanks to @taprootyeg for this piece on the Bison's past, present and future, including lead organizer Vikki Wiercinski's move to risograph printing. Last chance to Bison starts this weekend! edmonton.taproot.news/news/2023/11/2…

The Royal Bison was born in 2007. If we were a human we could get a driver's licence by now. But we're a craft fair Bovinae, so we're gonna retire instead. Anyway, weekend 1 starts THIS FRIDAY! Come support local one more time, yeah? royalbison.ca

Hey #yeg! I'll have a table here next weekend @theroyalbison with copies of TRAKOVI 1-3 on hand, original sketches, a fresh haircut and possibly a new tracksuit. I know, I'm just as stoked as you are!

Thanks to @taprootyeg for including us in their roundup of upcoming Edmonton craft markets. Plenty to check out in the coming weeks, including your last chance to visit the Royal Bison before we retire! edmonton.taproot.news/news/2023/11/1…

The first weekend of the last ever Royal Bison weekends is one week away. That's a terrible sentence, but we don't care, we're retiring! We *do* care about this complete (and impressive) vendor list and all those other important details right here: royalbison.ca

H&O is so pleased to be back with our friends at @theroyalbison on Nov. 24–26! We've got our own booth and everything. Come by, #yeg, and knock off all your holiday shopping in one fell swoop.

LAST ROYAL BISON EVER!😪 This Bison's about to mosey down the trail into Bovinae retirement. But we've got 2 incredible weekends of your favourite Edmonton weirdness coming up: Nov 24-26 & Dec 1-3. Come support local and send us off with a smile, yeah? royalbison.ca

Late night work getting ready for @theroyalbison
