There are 4 blocks and some fields covered with vendors about the center of Merritt today.
A man polishing his 4 wheel rec vehicle is from Alberta and came to the local bike rally to present his $12,000,00 unit for sale.
The Great Canadian Bike Rally has its stage set up in the parking lot behind the Royal Bank and the area is surrounded with booths and venders.

The weekend will tell and the entertainment ends on the 15th.
