Hello to anyone who ventures to read our story. Let me introduce ourselves. We are the co-founders of Geeked Out, also husband and wife, Patrick & Shannon O'Neill. We have a LOVE for toys, collectibles and of course, aren't new to organizing local events. We have organized well over 100 events: from wedding shows to craft shows, mom 2 mom sales, large community events (like the Carleton Place Winter Carnival - we even organized the Carleton Place Santa Clause Parade), NUMEROUS charitable events, halloween shows and of course, we launched Geeked Out back in 2012 and have hosted close to 20 Geeked Out events.
FAST FORWARD to 2020 when Covid-19 hit the world... With heavy hearts, we had to cancel not 1, but 2 of our scheduled events. Like most businesses, we had to pivot how we did business and how we could survive. We spent most of 2020 focusing on our online business and stepped back into our roles to help run our families business, Murray's Flea Market. With each lockdown brought frustration, worry and LOTS of blood, sweat and tears, but it taught us a LOT about priorities and how we wanted to make an impact on the geek community we held so close to our hearts. So, in July of 2021, we decided it might just be time to try to launch Geeked Out events once more - so here we are!!
We are excited to be planning the SECOND Geeked Out event since the pandemic hit the world! Whether you are a dealer or shopper, we hope you will join us this October for a weekend filled with buying & selling mixed with some fun, excitement and a few surprises!
