At the Moosomin Chamber of Commerce meeting on Wednesday, Kyle Jeannot gave an update on how plans are coming together for the Living Skies Come Alive fireworks competition planned for Moosomin Regional Park on the August long weekend.
“On August 2 and 3, we are going to have Living Skies Come Alive again,” he said. “We have Archangel out of Winnipeg booked to help with the competition, and it will be a Saskatchewan versus Alberta competition. Saskatchewan will be on August 2 and Alberta will be on the 3.
“Route 605 will play for a band on the 2nd and the Sean Taylor band out of Winnipeg will play on the 3rd. There are food trucks booked. There is Mexican King, Perras Boys, and a smoothie truck coming, as well as the store serving food that weekend.
“And either the Thursday or Friday before we are going to do a beer night with Skout Brewing out at the lake trying to kick off the event.
“There will be kids events all weekend, and then on Saturday the 2nd there will be vendors there as well for a market. I think there are over 26 booked already.
“So it should be a good weekend. Wrist bands will go on sale at the end of June or early July. For camping, make sure you book online. March 1 it opens up.
“If anyone is looking to volunteer that weekend, we definitely are looking for hands and help in the beer gardens and with parking. We could use at least 20-30 volunteers. Parking is our biggest issue to find people for.”
The Living Skies Come Alive competition has not been held for a few years, but when it was hosted previously it brought tens of thousands of people through the gates of the park, and was a fundraiser for the park.
Jeannot says they are hoping for a similar turnout now that the competition is back.
“We are hoping ideally 4,000 people a day would be perfect,” he told Chamber members.
