I guess the hardest part was finding the venue because it's been almost 25 yrs since we lived in Moose Jaw, and my dear sweet husband knew the way and wasn't about to listen to my directions thinking that I was the one who'd forgotten. Right. And then he asked for directions from a convenience store clerk! Let's just say it was awhile before I found my voice.
The venue was the beautiful Wakamow Valley in what used to be the Wild Animal Park. It was a natural setting for the outdoor show, although I wished vehicles hadn't served as a backdrop for the stage. Kind of disconcerting to a history buff like me. But the recreators did an admirable job with the script.

| The Mountie, the Chief, and the Metis discuss things before the show starts. No, the Chief didn't wear sunglasses during the show. |
I especialy liked the teepee making demonstration, as well as the Red River Cart demonstration - added bonuses to the program. Chataqua performances followed the Theatre on the Hoof show.
For more photos, as well as 2 videos - one of which is a funny outtake - please go to my Inkwell post.
The questions for discussion today are about outtakes - if you like them, or if you think they detract from the seriousness of a show.
