Does anybody know who the Food Vendors will be?
There are always a variety of food vendors. Most of the Ukrainian food is supplied by the same church goers as Streecha :) At St. George’s. But there are tons of other vendors with grilled kebabs, sweets, etc. enjoy!
I learned so much about Ukraine and Ukrainians, while living on East 7th street for about 5 years, in the 80’s and 90’s. I learned about their national heroes, Stalin’s famine, the richness of their culture and folk arts. But mostly about their fierce nationalism and devotion to their homeland. Never imagining, however, that they would be called upon to defend it literally with their lives, in the 21st Century. The stage performances should be especially meaningful this year. And don’t miss the apricot crescent cookies!
