Snow Lake Skit honors one of Thompson's early prospectors

If you’re heading to Snow Lake there’s a live performance every Saturday that you're welcome to check out.

 

Every Saturday through to August 2nd, the Snow Lake Aurora Boealis Arts Council puts the historic skit on at the Snow Lake Motor Inn.  Maryann Mihychuk, one of the writers talks about what you can expect.

 

“The performances are about the early explorers in the Snow Lake area. It's 100 years ago since Richard Woosey discovered gold at Herb Lake now known as Wekusko. This play is about some of the more famous or more compelling explorers.”

 

The play focuses on Kate Creighton. She is considered to be one of Thompson’s first prospectors. Creighton also had ties to Abraham Lincoln, the pilgrims, and the creation of the United Church.

 

The Play “Kate and the Gold Diggers” takes place at the Snow Lake Motor Inn. It’s free of charge but donations will go to the Snow Lake Aurora Boealis Arts Council. The skits start at 1 o’clock.
