Serbian History 101

Get ready now for the NEXT Pittsburgh SNF 3-Day!

     July 17, 18, and 19 2009 is but a memory, but it's time NOW to start making plans for NEXT year!

It's usually the 3rd weekend in July, so book your airflights early!  This year we met new people from Washington, DC,  various places in Ohio, Kansas, West Virginia, Arizona, Lackawaanna New York, Houston Texas, Steelton PA, and all the way from California and Wyoming! 

They're already making plans for next year too!

 Lots of weddings coming up with this great gang! By SNF 2010's 3-Day, Jana and Anthony will have tied the knot.  And a little afterwards, Danny and Stephanie will give us time to get to DETROIT for another great celebration!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 Eliot Maravich lives in Florida now, but tells Sally and Louisa he will never miss taking his grandkids to Kennywood!  His T-Shirt says: "Grandpa is my name and SPOILING is my game!"

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!

Start making YOUR travel arrangements now..... and get hugs like these from everyone!

 Medich / Rajkovich Team work HARD each 3-Day!

 These ladies LOVE John, who shared some of the photos you see on these pages with all of us.  All three of them also have W&J in common!

John sings "Kol Slaven" like an angel. We're so lucky to have him in St. Elijah Serbian Orthodox Church Choir!  He also is VERY active with all of the SNF Sports Tournaments.

 How can anyone measure this lady's WEALTH?

 Is that the Aliquippa gang on the 2nd tier there?

 Friday:  Kennywood Park A HUGE Amusement Park with rides for children of all ages and a Serbian Day Program at 6:00 featuring the SNF Person of the Year Award and dancers from various Serbian colonies. 

In 2009, the young dancers came from Windsor, Ontario, Canada! People love to come for all the above AND the barbequed lamb!  Umm!

The lamb's good, even in the rain!

The Sargeants & Friends

Afterwards, it's down to the American Serbian Club on Pittsburgh's South Side where hundreds and hundreds of people gather to eat chevapchis, socialize with friends they haven't seen in a long time and dance their hearts away to very late at night!

Saturday:  Boat Ride on the huge MAJESTIC up and down Pittsburgh's 3 Rivers:  The Monongahela, the Allegheny and the Ohio!  Nothing like dancing the Kolo and listening to Tamburitzan music while viewing sights like PNC Park, Heinz Stadium, good ole South Side, etc. 

World-famous Heinz Field, home of the NFL Champion Steelers!

The ship starts boarding at 12:00 NOON and leaves the dock promptly at 1:00 for a three-hour cruise.  Off at 4:00 PM, you have time for shopping at all the stores located in nearly Station Square, and then afterwards, its dancing once again down at the American Serbian Club on Pittsburgh's South Side.

Sunday:  Church services at Holy Trinity (10:00 AM) followed by the huge family-style picnic up at Holy Trinity's St. Sava Cemetery/ Picnic Grounds on Hamilton Road in Castle Shannon, Pittsburgh, PA.
