The Town of Didsbury is warning residents about a potential scam involving a man falsely claiming to be a Town employee and attempting to sell or rent tables for the upcoming Real Didsbury Trade Show.
In a statement posted on its social media on Friday, the Town emphasized that no Town of Didsbury employee will ever sell or rent event tables to members of the public—or request e-transfer payments.
"Please note that no Town of Didsbury employees will ever sell or rent event tables to members of the public and will never ask you to E-Transfer funds," the Town said.
The Real Didsbury Trade Show is a privately organized event not affiliated with the Town.
The event is scheduled for April 12-13 at the Didsbury Memorial Complex and brings together local businesses, community organizations, and vendors.
Exhibitors range from small businesses to home improvement services, offering networking opportunities for professionals and activities for families. The weekend includes a Family Fun Zone, a local food court, and live entertainment. Doors open Saturday morning following a free pancake breakfast from 8 AM to 10 AM.
Residents are urged to be cautious and avoid engaging with the individual involved. Anyone seeking legitimate information about the trade show or table rentals should visit the Real Didsbury Trade Show website directly.
