Dinner
A performance by the youth of CYM Winnipeg
A comedy show featuring "Spalenij Teater" from Chicago
Dessert table
Cash bar
A tax receipt
Zabava from 11:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.

This fun-filled evening promises to be a sellout. Reserve your tickets early!

"Spalenij Teater" will be presenting a full comedy show which can be enjoyed by all ages! Laughter is main aim of this theatre troupe, hailing from CYM Chicago. The performance is full of jokes and puns which will hit home with every Ukrainian - from the "Plast vs. CYM Family Feud" skit to their hit song "Ukie School Dropout," the entire act will have you falling out of your chairs with laughter! (Disclaimer: CYM is not liable for any injury sustained due to laughter, including, but not limited to, falling out of one's chair.)

Family Barbecue at Ukrainian Park

Don't let the weather keep you from joining in on the fun! We'll have access to the central kitchen facility so if it's chilly, step inside and warm up with a hot beverage. We'll have a moleben' at the Chapel, a Sviatochnay Apel', and then a vatra...and as you recall NOBODY builds a taller, wider, hotter vatra than our CYM boys. During the day, you can revisit the CYM cabin and check out our new gazebo!

We also plan to bless our Holodomor Icon, which was made by our CYM-ivtsi to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Famine-Genocide in Ukraine. It is a beautiful piece and you don't want to give up your chance to see it!

And, just in case Mother Nature isn't as kind to us we hope, the festivities will take place indoors at Institute Prosvita, 777 Pritchard Avenue.
