He says he’s very sad to see it go.

“I  have come in and out of here for so many years and spent a bit of money. I am going to miss the shop and I am going to miss Jack,” said Duane Benoit.

Jack Carr the owner says after 50 years it was time hang it up and live the rest of his years in retirement.

“I’ve done it for so many years. Its time that I get out of here,” said Carr. “I’m going to have sometime to do a few things in my life that i couldn’t do before, but I’ll miss the place.”

Once the hobby shop closes, Carr plans to spend a lot more time at his cabin.

An online auction is being held this Saturday to sell off many of these antique items.
