I can hardly wait. I'm not slavik but love this festival.
Can only stay for a short time, as I have to sleep so I can work that night, but will be there early.

Good article.  Unfortunately I won't be able to hear them as they are performing later in the day.   :(

Fifteen food vendors will be there to provide the ethnic food.  Most vendors are the nationality churches of the Mahoning Valley.
