Of water and books

DOORS ALMOST NOT OPEN!

With a watermain break forcing the shut off of our water supply all day last Friday, it was touch and go whether we’d be able to keep our doors open during Doors Open Winnipeg the next day! But in the eleventh hour – around 10:30 pm the city completed its repairs, and we were good to go!

Many Winnipegers who had never passed through our doors visited Oseredok
on Saturday May 28th taking in the new Baba’s Trunk exhibition and spending some time looking through the building. Thanks to all who came!

THE ROOF

Meanwhile, the sun in Winnipeg, with its one-day-on, one-day-off agenda, wreaked havoc on the roof repair schedule.  We have to hand it to the roofing crew, however – every moment that the sun shines, they are here doing their work!

NEW BOOKS IN THE BOUTIQUE!

Oseredok Boutique received some gorgeous publications from Rodovid Press of Kyiv. Two books are highly recommended – Kateryna Bilokur, biography, essays, and reproductions and  Invitation to a Wedding, a beautifully illustrated history of the rites and rituals of Ukrainian weddings!
