A heartfelt thank you to Ukraine Harmony Foundation and Film Hive, for organizing Ukraine’s Independence Day festival yesterday in West Kelowna, and to the United Way British Columbia for the grant money, which made it all possible.
We are eternally grateful to Amber Paran at Grizzli Winery for allowing us to move our Ukrainian market and meal indoors last minute due to the rain. Your staff were not only professional and courteous, later in the evening they took the time to wipe down the seats of the outdoor theater and provided warm blankets so we could all enjoy the Ukrainian kids movie at the end of our event. Kudos to you all! We express our gratitude to teacher Natalia Teslia and the Gilea-dancers for their fabulous performance. These precious children are our future and it was amazing to watch them perform with such passion and precision. Thank you Onbelay Creations for hand crocheting the sweet little turtle sunflowers in Ukrainian blue and yellow as a gift to the Gilea Dancers for their performance. The traditional Ukrainian food prepared by Ukrainian Canadian Volunteers Association was not only delicious, it was enjoyed by several hundred people! An extra special thanks to Elena Heychenko and Kenny Kushnir for lending a helping hand and saving the day on several different occasions!! We couldn’t have done it without you!! And last but not least a huge thank you to all the vendors including DNApparel for making our market a fun and festive place to be!
