Performers on Parade features professional performers in the areas of music, dance, theatre and more! Each week, a different performer will visit each library in the city.
Sure, he’s been a professional orchestra conductor for many years (Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra 2015 – 2022, founder of the JUNO-nominated group of 27 Orchestra, etc.) but Eric Paetkau can’t get enough of the pure joy and laughter that comes with performing for kids. Combining his interactive, original songs and goofy stories, Eric’s live shows are a hoot. He’s also got a weekly online show for kids, writes children's books and uses a banana phone. Eric’s silly alter ego, Mr. Eric, is just a big kid who loves sharing music and stories. His infectious energy gets people singing, dancing and yearning for ice cream.
The Mayfair Library was established in 1952 in the basement of the Mayfair Community Hall. By 1989, the building was no longer suitable for the library and the basement location presented accessibility problems. The current Mayfair Library was reopened in 1991, on the same site, after a one-year break in service during construction.
