Following two years of cancellations, Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair returned this weekend.

The two-day event, held at Pearkes Arena near the Tillicum Centre, featured tables packed with toys, action figures, collectibles, records and more.

Organizers say this weekend’s fair was the busiest of the 25 they’ve held over the years.

“It’s amazing,” said Candice Woodward of Cherry Bomb Toys. “It’s been a long haul two and a half years of not doing shows. We’re over the moon to be back in action and the community support has been amazing this weekend.”

The fair is a fundraiser for the BC Children’s Hospital and the MS Society. It has raised more than $55,000 over the years.
