Pansy Fall supper dedicated to former volunteer

Pansy kicked off the fall supper season on Sunday. The first of many across the province and close to a dozen in the Southeast, this year was another sellout, with over 1,250 people served.

Organizers said this year’s event was dedicated to the late Justina Golowaychuk who volunteered for over five decades at the Pansy Hall. Organizer Leanne Germain described the event as an amazing show of support with incredible volunteers who not only served the massive crowds that included four packed charter buses from Winnipeg, but also helped with preparation. And that was no small task. Feeding the masses involved the making and serving of 5,000 meatballs, a chest freezer filled with 430 dozen (5,160) perogies, 30 roasters of cabbage rolls, more than 100 litres of whipping cream to top up dessert, 50 quarts of preserved mushrooms, 1,800 perishky and 50 pounds of cottage cheese to fill the nalysnyky.
