Corner Gas parting ways with pieces of its old set

Mar 26, 2011 | 11:44 AM

It's a chance to have your own piece of Canadian television history — props, costumes and set pieces from Corner Gas are on sale at the sound stage in Regina this weekend.

Many of the items had been sitting in storage since the show wrapped in April 2009.

Dwayne Leicht is a fan of Corner Gas from Kipling. He was in town for other things, but decided to stop by the sale with his daughter, who also posed for a photo with Brent Butt.

“The counters of the Ruby is kind of cool to see, things like that — Emma and Oscar's kitchen and a few other things you can recognize from the show,” he said.

Series creator, star and writer Brent Butt was on hand Friday signing autographs and meeting fans. He says there's a lot of great stuff, but they aren't getting rid of everything.

“Like the Corner Gas sign and the Ruby sign, and the pumps themselves — we've had a lot of people ask about the pumps — but we're keeping those. Things like that, things that are too difficult to replace or you can't rebuild,” Butt said.

The bigger, more iconic items are being sold in an auction Saturday afternoon from 1 until 2 p.m. But the sale itself is open from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday at 1831 College Ave.

Part of the proceeds from the event will go to the Children's Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan.
