Quebec, Canada

We were also invited to represent Canada during the World Folklore Festival in Drummondville, Quebec, with 27 countries participating. From the ecumenical church service, parades, banquets, Montreal tour, nightly discos on site to the opening and closing ceremonies at Marcel Dionne, this festival proved to be an exciting two weeks for all participants. Our guides & interpreters, Lisette & Chantelle were absolutely fantastic, making sure we were on time for shows & other functions. The Scumalash Family Band as well as members of the Cape Breton Pipes & Drums of the Canada Winter Games complimented the dancers and were a crowd favorite during the parades. When Pipe Major Courtney MacPherson stopped in front of the dignitaries platform during the parade & played a French tune, the crowd broke into applause of gratitude. Then only casualty of the festival was when Susan Campbell broke her foot while dancing impromptu during a party held in our honor!!
