Pirates of the Saskatchewan River Banquet – 104th Annual National Convention

Aug 26, 2024 | Conventions, In the News, Media, News Releases, Present Convention

On the evening of August 12th, a sea of pirates took over the TCU Place at the 104th Annual National Convention for the Pirates of the Saskatchewan River Banquet! Members dressed up in their best pirate costumes and each centrepiece at the tables were designed by a different parish council to represent their city.

Delicious Ukrainian food was served including perogies, cabbage rolls, sausage and mustard, with salad, bread, brownies, and cakes. A live band, Brad Johner and the Johner Boys, were rocking the stage with grooving original music and a medley of classics like “Peggy Sue”, “Honky Tonk Women”, and “I Love A Rainy Night” and everyone was on their feet. There was a photo shoot opportunity with a giant pirate ship and even an incredible conga line was formed later in the evening from all the fun dancing!
