If you are within driving distance to Toronto, come on down to the Bloor West Ukrainian Festival next weekend.
New for this year is a Literary Pavilion and Kobzar’s Children will be featured there. Several of the anthology contributors will be dropping by throughout the weekend to autograph copies of Kobzar’s Children and to chat about the stories. I’ll be at the booth on Saturday from noon til about 4. Sonja Dunn will be there on Sunday for an hour or so, starting at noon. I am hoping that both Natalia Buchok and Cornelia Bilinsky will also be able to make an appearance.
Hope to see you there!
I can’t believe I missed you Marsha! I live right around the corner from the festival and checked out the music and great food on Friday and Saturday nights. I just read your post today (Monday) but had I seen it earlier, I would have definitely come out during the afternoon and said hi. Sorry to have missed you. Despite the rain, the festival was great, even for an wee Irish man like myself. 😛

Hi Liam,
You live right around the corner? Wow! It was very busy on Saturday afternoon. The weather was decent — cool and cloudy but no rain. Natalia Buchok, one of the other contributors, signed with me and we had a steady stream of visitors so the time flew by. I didn’t even get a chance to eat perogies!
