Ukrainian artists, Chinese Heritage dancers, Irish Heritage dancers and Sudbury dance troupes will be performing at variety show this Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m., as part of the annual Yarmarok Festival held by the Ukrainian National Federation. It is being held at the hall at 130 Frood Road.

“This variety night is being done as a fundraiser for the United Steelworkers Local 6500 Strike fund. Admission is free but donations will be taken at the door,” said festival chair Keri Shewchuk.

“We have a lot of our members affected by the strike at our hall. We feel it is an obligation to help our our members and others as well.”

She said Ukrainians have a long history of working in the mines in Sudbury and the surrounding area.
