Planning a party, wedding or celebration in the Kootenays?

Sandor Rental Equipment isn’t just about tools and heavy machinery (although they do have the region’s largest cranes). It’s also a one-stop shop for wedding and party rentals—everything from tents and table settings to electric sparkler machines and a 360 photo booth!

What started as Judy Sandor’s love for decorating turned into a full-blown event rental business that serves 10–15 parties a week during peak season. With custom options and personalized service, Judy brings your vision to life—whether it’s a New York Times-inspired garden wedding or a backyard bash.

Sandor Rental Equipment is a family-run business with 55 years of trusted service in the Kootenays.

At Cranbrook Hyundai , we’re driven by more than just cars—we’re driven by hope.

We’re proud to support Hyundai Canada Hope on Wheels, a national initiative that pledges over $4 million across Canada in 2025 to pediatric cancer research and care—every new Hyundai sold means funding for kids fighting cancer.

Our team, led by General Manager David Moodie, is deeply committed. As David shares, “My mom was a nurse for 40 years… I’ve seen firsthand how important these hospitals and support systems are.”

Each new Hyundai purchased contributes directly to life-changing research and support. Plus, our signature Handprint Ceremonies let kids leave a literal mark of hope on our Hope on Wheels vehicles.

At 14, Carter Flexhaug was already running a fruit stand on his own in Nelson, B.C., continuing a family tradition that began in the 1960s. Now in his early 20s, he’s brought that legacy to Cranbrook and turned Flexy’s Fruit Stand into a thriving local fixture. What began with pop-up tents and a sports car has grown into a full-scale business with a refrigerated trailer, support staff, and a devoted customer base.

07/04/2025

Jeremiah and Marina Pauw hadn’t planned on buying a hotel when they passed through Fernie during a cross-Canada trip in 2007. It was a casual chat with the local Super 8 owners that changed everything, redirecting their lives from Arctic oil and gas to Rocky Mountain hospitality.

Over the past 15 years, the Pauws have quietly reshaped what hotel ownership can look like, creating Peacock Hospitality Group and transforming a chain-brand establishment into the independent Fernie Fox Hotel. From eco-conscious upgrades to affordable staff housing and year-round renovations, the Fox has consistently reinvested in both its property and its people. The result has been a hospitality model rooted in sustainability, long-term thinking, and community care.

Serving the East Kootenay for 55 years and counting!

When Judy Sandor’s husband, Frank, passed away, she stepped up to lead Sandor Rental Equipment—the first rental business in the Kootenays, founded in 1969. With help from her son Robert, Judy continues to grow the business while keeping Frank’s legacy of community service and entrepreneurial spirit alive.

Frank was a true community builder who helped construct the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and set up Cranbrook’s Christmas tree each year. Judy honours that legacy by making events magical and keeping the doors open for local DIYers, contractors, and families alike.

Whether you're planning a wedding, throwing a celebration of life, or finally tackling that backyard project, this long-standing Cranbrook business has you covered.
