We were happy and WILD!

Dear All Who Joined Us for the Wild West Carnival on 16 February 2013!

You shared positive energy and made our common celebration unforgettable!

Let us remind how it was (just a small sketch to the wave of emotions you have received).

From the very first step to the Hall we met charming Viktoria Sklyar and handsome Vasyl Khomiak who skillfully crafted butterflies or stars on our tickets. Thanks for being smiling and intriguing, guys! The tickets itself where kindly designed and printed (as many others materials) by Oksana Tykha (EBA Toastmasters Club) with a support of Oleksandra Osypova -Safronova (thanks to fresh view of creativity!).

Entering into Hall you could mention the fabulously decorations, Horse (really close to real one) and “Wanted” Signs. The Hall was filled with cheerful-romantic-dynamic notes (we felt creative craft and music taste of Jenia’s Poluektova and Chamber TM club).

The first activity of the evening named “Speed Dating” was scrupulously conducted (as it should be) by Chair-cowgirl – Roksolana Melnyk (Dniprohills) and noisy and attention-catching Chair-cowboy – Jason Cammarano (Art Talkers Club). This wild couple entertained guest all evening with their jokes and western spirit!

Katrusia Zarubina led the session for everyone willing to sing “Old McDonal had a farm”. The most loved among guests words there were “ee-aa-ee-aa-yoo”. Not surprisingly that choral singing finished by mass-dancing (thanks to DJ Jenia).

Later Roman Topalyuk (Art Talkers) lead Arm wrestling tournament between  16 guys and 8 girls (on a sex-separate basis for sure). In the final opposition the girl-winner – Switlana Stavska (DniproHills) and Sergiy Strelko (our guest) won feminine charm supported by man’s respect-to-feminine-charm.

We will never forget songs by Polina Telegeeva (ArtTalkers) and cowboys band Andriy & Oleg.

Supported by snacks and juices (thank you Anatoliy Mykolenko from DniproHills for helping to purchase all that stuff!) guests continued dancing.

Friends! The event organization proved that we can make a great synergy for any project we plan! Thank you everyone for joining the team of organizers. Especially to Irina Lomachynska, Lena Noskova, Lena Toktarova, Galina Nikonchuk and all girls who came earlier and helped with a food. Many thanks to Sergiy Kostyshyn, Oleg Lytvynov, Andrey Bezrebry, Igor Chernikov and all strong guys for assistance at the carnival.  Thank youб dearest Bohdan Trotsenko for equipment assistance and Lena Noskova for overall support and organization. Thanks for PR, gathering people and informing on dress-code to Polina Telegeeva, Larysa Antoschuk and Roman Topolyuk. Special thanks for our Partners - Valentina Andreeva – photographer and Cafe “Druzi” – for presents.

Let's do more fun and add more colors to our life further and together!

Western USSR

American Wild West culture had influenced on cinematography of USSR. Magnificent and a little bit naïve movie “A man from Kapucinov Boulevard” (“Человек с бульвара Капуцинов”, 1987) takes your attention from the beginning till the very end. It is full of bright phrases, thoughts and songs.
