It was an amazing weekend for celebrity sightings in Jasper, as Shania Twain, Annie Lennox, Reba and Cher were all in town to celebrate the fourth annual Jasper Pride Weekend.
OK. You caught us. They weren鈥檛 actually here. But, Edmonton鈥檚 Guys in Disguise did do some incredibly entertaining impersonations of said icons during Saturday night鈥檚 Fairy Tales and Legends party at the Activity Centre.
Drag divas Terri Stevens and Justine Tyme put on a show to remember, performing songs like Katy Perry鈥檚 鈥淔irework鈥� and Taylor Swift鈥檚 鈥淲e Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.鈥�
And later in the show, Jasper鈥檚 own Mychol Ormandy surprised the crowd as he took the stage as Toni Lester Van Blam to sing Gloria Gaynor鈥檚 鈥淚 Am What I Am.鈥� The OUT Jasper coordinator was rewarded with roaring cheers and applause for his performance.
Saturday night鈥檚 party was only one of many exciting events held all weekend long. Others included a Pajama Fashion Show and Breakfast organized by Jasper鈥檚 Gay Straight Alliance, a 鈥淭hrough the Looking Glass鈥� party at the Whistle Stop and a viewing of short films curated by the Fairy Tales Film Festival at Fairmount Jasper Park Lodge.
On its Facebook page, the Jasper Pride Weekend Committee wrote of the weekend, 鈥淟ike in true fairy tale fashion, it was a happy ending indeed.鈥�
