Kyle Jeannot with the Moosomin Regional Park gave an update for Living Skies Come Alive Fireworks Competition, which will be returning to the park on the August long weekend.

“Living Skies Come Alive Fireworks Competition is back this year. August 2nd and 3rd will be Saskatchewan vs Alberta,” said Jeannot at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last Tuesday.

“We had the fireworks guy out last Friday at the lake and he said that it is going to be as good of a show as we have ever had before, so there is some excitement going on with that.

“Early bird tickets go on sale June 14th to July 26th for $20, after that they are $25 each. Children five and under get free admission.”

Jeannot says they have food trucks booked; Mexican King, Perras Boys, Smoothie ‘n Cool Tea, and Moose Creek General Store.

There will be kids’ activities, live music and beer gardens both Saturday and Sunday night. “The Hideout is going to bring a trailer out with some kids’ events so we are super excited, it’s our first time having that,” said Jeannot. There will also be local vendors set up at the park selling goods Saturday and Sunday of the long weekend.

Jeannot says to plan for a busy weekend in town, estimating about 5,000 people will visit the park each day. “This event is going to put a lot of people back in Moosomin. Whether they are coming to get camping supplies, groceries, drinks, using the hotels and restaurants, or whatever else they may need. At the end of the day this really benefits not just lake, but the community as a whole,” said Jeannot.

Jeannot says the park is still looking for volunteers to help direct parking.
We are looking for volunteers for parking, so if anybody has any committees or organizations to recommend, we would like to hear any suggestion. In the past, the Filipino group volunteered, and the park made a donation back to the basketball courts. That is something we like to do if we can get volunteers out there for three or four hours, or an afternoon, is to make a donation back to them for helping out.”

There will be a sponsorship going around for the park, and there will be signage at the park, covering all different levels of sponsorship. You’ll have your sign coming in for your business on your way to the toll booth and you’ll have 4-5 thousand people passing by, seeing your sign, it’s going to pull people into the community.

“We will send an e-mail to the chamber committee and then go around to businesses as well.”

Jeannot says this year, the park has created a calendar, where there will be something going on every weekend. “There is a QR code to scan on our Facebook page, so there will be live updates soon. There will be something going on every weekend to pull people out from the community to experience what the lake has to offer.”

Jeannot is confident they will hit the 5,000 visitor mark, he says there is a lot of interest and the serviced campsites are already booked up, and they are already booking overflow camping sites.
