The theme for this year's MooseJaw is MooseJaw at the Movies, so be sure to come as your favorite star from the silver screen. We'll most likely have a red carpet premier along with our own take on the Oscars. We'll also be having the usual assortment of music—this year our old-time band will be the Tallboys from Seattle. For the local band, we'll be featuring the Ukrainian Village Band for traditional Ukrainian dancing and music. Our caller for 2010 is the incomparable Beverly Smith. There will also be a wide range of workshops this year—old-time fiddle, banjo and guitar, Ukrainian singing, dance and fiddle music, a jug band symposium (so be sure to bring a jug band instrument of some sort—anything goes!), clogging, squares, contras, calling and more. Enjoy miles of beautiful cross country skiing, the sauna and hot tub, and of course, the bottomless cookie jar.
