Ukrainian Canadian author Marsha Skrypuch to launch Kobzar's Children in Saskatoon

October 27, 2006 -- Ukrainian Canadian author Marsha Skrypuch will be in Saskatoon on November 24-25 to launch the release of her newest book Kobzar's Children.

The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is hosting the launch on Friday, November 24th at 7 pm, coinciding with their Christmas Yarmarok, a bazaar with vendors from all over. Lots of traditional Ukrainian artisans will be there.

Danny Evanishen will also be there in a dual role. He and his wife, Jean, have a booth at the Yarmarok. Danny has a fabulous variety of books that he has produced with his own publishing company, Ethnic Enterprises. Danny has done much to preserve Ukrainian pioneer stories and many other stories.

Danny is also a contributor to Kobzar's Children, so he will be on hand for the launch as well.

Two Saskatchewan contributors, Linda Mikolayenko and Larry Warwaruk, may also be in attendance to participate in the launch.

On Saturday November 25th at 10 am, Marsha Skrypuch will do a presentation about the real people behind her Ukrainian stories. This will be held at the Museum.

You are invited to attend! The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is located at 910 Spadina Cres. E. in Saskatoon. Information about Marsha Skrypuch may be found at www.calla.com.
