Meet the Okanagan man with a huge Coke collection

Joe Rich resident Tony Koopmans might be the biggest Coca-Cola fan in the entire Okanagan.

And he's got a room full of merchandise to prove it.

Big Ginger from 103.1 Beach Radio ventured out to visit the collector of carbonation to find out why he started accumulating items from the iconic brand.

An avid enjoyer of the drink from a young age, Koopmans received a Coke branded tray from his mother at 17 years of age and from then on, it was all he ever asked for.

But with a desire to travel more and escape the cold Canadian climate, he is selling off his vast collection, and putting some of the proceeds towards his own animal charity 'the K.Y.R.A. Society'.
