The Serbian Folklore Federation of North America celebrated it's 8th Annual Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida June 20th through 22nd. Our own Srbadija senior group attended the event and performed along with many groups from around the country. Wonderful memories were made with friends old and new. Looks like half the fun was just getting there. The performing groups traveled from Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Joliet, Cleveland, Monroeville, Merrillville, McKeesport, Schererville, Aliquippa, and the host town of St. Petersburg. Send us your concert photos to stsavachurch@gmail.com so that we can share them. Thanks to Erin Devaney for sharing these photos.

You could learn a lot from your Baba, Baba Mim, that is!

Mim Bizic has created a most wonderful website for an entertaining, yet educational Serbian experience. You'll learn something every time you visit babamim.com. Milana (Mim) is the daughter of Milan Karlo, now deceased, the talented photographer of the Observer Newspaper for many years. You can now brag about your Baba, the Apple Computer Expert. She has plenty of knowledge and pride in our Serbian History and Culture, so pay attention! (There's going to be quiz.)

So that's how they do it? The fine art of strudel - making takes skill, practice, and patience, as you can see in the photos.

This year's Festival will be held at the CHURCH GROUNDS at 9191 Mississippi Street, so be sure to let ll your friends know. The fabulous Bake Sale will be in the south wing. (Click photo to enlarge)
