Cranked Energy - A Cranked Energy Bar is a fresh-made, small-batch protein bar crafted with creamy natural peanut butter, wholesome oats, and real ingredients you can pronounce. Every bar is made in our kitchen — never pulled from a warehouse shelf — so it’s soft, chewy, and full of rich, nutty flavour. With balanced protein, satisfying texture, and zero preservatives, it’s fuel that actually tastes like a treat.
Sheepdog Brew Co - Sheepdog Brew Co. is a nitro cold brew company based in Winnipeg, where we roast and brew everything in-house. Our cold brew is strong, smooth, and ready to drink, with zero sugar or additives. Available in cans and concentrate, it's built for people who like their coffee simple, effective, and made right.
To redeem your gifts, you will visit the vendor booth at the market!

There is no guarantee that you will get in! We only offer this if a paid ticket holder does not show up. Only at that time, do we allow people in at the door in. Purchasing a paid ticket ahead of time is the only way to ensure you will get in. If you are hoping to get in with friends or family who have paid tickets and you do not, this is a risk and there is no promise or guarantee you will get in or get in right away.
