Young Mens Day Festival

Just 5 days left for the Young Men’s Day Festival to be celebrated in Nain.

We spoke with Johnny Ikkusek who is the Supervisor for the festival this year.

He says they had 11 young men attend their second meeting last Friday; January 17th.

Ikkusek says the pijet for this year are Matt Barbour and Boas Fox, and the cook is Miriam Lidd, and Rosina Brown will assist with any baked goods for the festival.

Another Young Men’s Day meeting is scheduled for today at 5 pm at the Nain Fire Hall.

Ikkusek says they have handed out letters to organizations for donations and are still waiting to hear back.

But right now, here is a list of what the young men received from numerous donations within the community:

A $50 gift card donation from the Quick Stop Store, 3 loaves of bread and cereal and milk from the Atsanik Inn, a ham from the Hayne’s General Store, and the Nain DHSD donated milk, tissue, sugar, coffee mate and 6 packs of coffee.

We will have more updates on the 2020 Young Men’s Day festival once it becomes available.
