Deanna Reschke, making her debut at the fall festival, travelled from Moose Jaw to reconnect with her extended family. A candlemaker, brain tumour survivor, and mother, Reschke said being at the festival is especially meaningful after her recovery: 鈥淚t was extra special to see them after recovery and to spend time with them here at the Fall Festival.鈥� Candle-making has been a healing process for Reschke, especially after taking a year-long break, she said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 something I鈥檝e poured my heart and soul into.鈥�
鈥淣orth Battleford means home. It's my extended family, it's our network, it's our safe place to land. So it is a very special place for us.鈥�
