The House of All Nations supplied hamburgers for the event and their volunteers seen here spent the evening cooking them. A big thank you goes out to them for their participation. As well a big thank you to Peter and the many Meadowgreen volunteers who were in the kitchen preparing the hotdogs and wrapping hot dogs and hamburgers. Over 600 hamburgers and 300 hotdogs were eaten. A hungry crowd!
Lots of activities took place. Below is the Jousting Arena which was a big hit with the strong and mighty youth who tried to knock each other off the jousting pedestals. The line-ups were long and thanks to the volunteers and Gordon for sorting out who was taking part when. What a success!
For the creative persons in the crowd the Mendel Art Caravan was a welcome addition. The artists in the crowd spent time on creating master pieces to take home and all ages enjoyed the activity.
A magic act by Beeper the Clown kept everyone enthralled. Then Beeper was the most popular clown as she made hundreds of balloon animals for children to take home. Wow Beeper you sure can do those animals fast. Every child was thrilled with their creation!
While people waited for their food there was the Saskatoon Jugging Club to watch. As well James Steele, the North American Grand Champion Fiddler performed along with Lionel Goldenson. It was a crowd pleasing performance. There were displays from many community groups in the Community Room including the Nursing Students, the Saskatoon Health Region, the House of All Nations etc. Thank you for coming out and participating in our event!
A few people were even seen texting their friends to come out and enjoy the event!
There were some enthusiastic youth who joined the Saskatoon Juggling Club for some personal tutoring on how to get going on the stilts, juggling and unicycle. Watch out for juggling youth on our streets as the performers were a big hit!
