About the Event
Join us for our first annual Creative Expressions event held in Bruno, Saskatchewan. The event is a way to share what artistic talents people have through crafts, their voices, dance, writing and more. The event holds entertainment such as readings from some great authors, vocalists, crafts and so much more. A family-friendly event that has some activities for the children, great food provided by the Humboldt and District SPCA (proceeds going to this no-kill, non-government funded organization) and a variety of hand-crafted shopping to boot. Come volunteer as entertainment, vend with us or simply come out and see what it’s about! Hosted by 4 Paws Games and Publishing.
