What changeable weather, last week hot and temp in the 30's. then came the weekend, rain and cool, my yard is a lake. The farmers are having a tough time putting up hay. Wednesday, last week went on an overnight excursion to Winnipeg. Folklarama was on. Over a 2 week period 45 various etnic groups played host to the public with a display of their culture, food, music and dance. We visited three pavillions Greece, Scandinavia, and Israel.
To the right one of the hostesess in a Greek costume. Greek food was served here greek salad, sovlaki, The dancers wore costumes on loan from Greece. Above left, St. Demeterious Greek Orthodox Catholic Church.
We then went to the Scandinavia Pavillion, five nordic countries share this building (I am a member here of the Norwegian Club.) We were entertained by the Scandia Dancers and the Abba Singers. The Dancers are upper right. The Israel pavillion was our last stop, here we watched a very professional dance group, excellent as well as folk songs, one problem the sound was too loud. Why they turn the speakers up to full blast I don't understand,some of our group used ear plugs ! That was our day back to the hotel, which has a gambling casino, some of our group went, I was too tired.
