The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is hosting a launch for Kobzar’s Children on Friday November 24th at 7pm. This will coincide with their Christmas Yarmarok. A Yarmarok is like a big bazaar with fabulous vendors from all over. There will be lots of traditional Ukrainian artisans there. I am looking forward to going to this event not only to launch Kobzar’s Children in Saskatoon, but also to shop!
Danny Evanishen will also be there in a dual role. He and his lovely wife Jean have a booth at the Yarmarok. Danny has a fabulous variety of books that he has produced with his own publishing company, Ethnic Enterprises. Danny has done much to preserve Ukrainian pioneer stories and many other stories. I have a good collection of his books and am looking forward to picking up more.
Danny is also a contributor to Kobzar’s Children, so he will be on hand for the launch as well.
I am also hoping that our two Saskatchewan contributors, Linda Mikolayenko and Larry Warwaruk will also be in attendance to participate in the launch.
On Saturday November 25th at 9am, I will do a presentation about the real people behind my Ukrainian stories. This will be held right at the Museum.
