The Meadowgreen Fair was fantastic! The event was blessed with fabulous weather and it was a perfect day for a barbeque. Over 700 people attended the fair and they enjoyed great entertainment including the W.P. Bate School Jiggers, Hula Hoopster, Beeper the Clown and the Saskatoon Juggling Club.
A big attraction was the Western Development's Caliope that provided music for the crowd to enjoy. The Caliope, a steam organ, is only one of two in Canada. It originates from the late 1800's to the early 1930s when steam organs were common place.
There were a lot of informational displays that people could view as well including Aids Saskatoon, The Society for the Prevention of Handicaps, The Community Health Nurse, The Immigrant Women of Saskatoon, Saskatoon Crime Free Housing, and other vendors.
The Saskatoon Police Department were also in attendance and people could view their cruiser.
There were lots of children sporting face paint done by the talented SCYAP artists. Beeper the Clown did an amazing job with balloon animals and many children enjoyed the Art Caravan provided by the Mendel Art Gallery.
The Meadowgreen Community Association would like to thank all the volunteers for their help! Special acknowledgement goes to the Meadowgreen House of all Nations for their awesome work barbequing and the donation of meat and Saskatchewan Lotteries for the Community Grant which helps support the event!
