Saskatchewan Express - The building

The dance troupe is somewhat more exciting than the building they come from.

Nature along the creek, west of Elphinstone St.

Mosaic

The 40th anniversary Mosaic featured 21 pavilions. All were a combination of performance, food, souvenir-hawking, food, and displays of cultural information or memorabilia. And food.

They range in size from the quite small (school gym) to hockey arena-encompassing.

Most of my pictures didn't turn out, sadly, because there was simply too much motion in the performances.

Caribbean pavilion

The Caribbean pavilion was huge, and the show I caught was a lengthy, high-energy fire eating/twirling/dancing performance.

Chinese pavilion:

The Chinese pavilion had one of the better cultural displays.

Filipino pavilion:

I had difficulting finding a non-shopping, non-food picture at the Philippine pavilion, and worst of all, no Mango Milkshakes this year!

Ukrainian pavilion:

They came from far and wide (in this case Manitoba), to join the festivities.

Italian pavilion:
The Italian pavilion featured dancing, and a pair of young lads doing a cover version of Joe Dolce's Shaddup You Face.

The Irish pavilion ended the last night with a hard-fiddlin' rock show that brought a crowd of revelers up onto stage with the screaming, punkish band. Much fun was had.

For those of you unfamiliar with the most common creature on the praries, this is a gopher. Or at least it's an artist's rendition of a gopher.
