What is a Chuckwagon Canvas Auction?

The Canvas Auction was developed to sell the rights to advertise on the racing wagon tarps. At the auction each of the approx. 30 drivers who will participate in the 2010 Saskatoon Chuckwagon races are auctioned off....or so to speak. Actually the highest bidder has purchased the right to advertise on that driver's chuckwagon tarp for the Saskatoon races.

Who can be a canvas buyer?

Anyone can be a canvas buyer - at previous auctions, buyers have been individuals, small businesses, large businesses, corporations, volunteer groups, employee groups, and community groups to name a few. The common thread to all these people is that they see an opportunity to advertise and they have an interest in chuckwagon racing.
