Game On Yukon! Book Launch
Young Yukoners’ favourite gang of youthful adventurers is back, this time fighting to save the Stanley Cup! It’s 1905 and the Dawson City Nuggets have challenged legendary One-Eyed Frank McGee and the Ottawa Silver Seven for hockey’s most famous trophy and, as usual, there’s a mystery for the Yukon kids to solve!
Join the MacBride Museum of Yukon History and author Keith Halliday as they launch the fourth book in the Yukon Kids Series: Game on Yukon! Mystery of the Dawson City Nuggets and the 1905 Stanley Cup. The launch will take place Tuesday, July 7 from 4pm to 6:30pm with a barbeque and reading at the MacBride.
