At Soyuzivka: August 15-17


KERHONKSON, N.Y. - During the weekend of August 15-17, the Ukrainian National Association's resort will crown a new Miss Soyuzivka.

For those who arrive early enough on Friday, there is the seafood buffet of Odesa Night, starting at 6 p.m. on the Veselka Patio. After dinner, Midnight Bigus will play inside in the Trembita Lounge, while Lvivyany, Soyuzivka's house band, will perform on the patio (weather permitting) or inside in the Veselka auditorium.

On Saturday, after enjoying the beauty of this Catskill mountain resort, guests are invited to a concert by vocalist Ostap Stachiv, beginning at 8:30 p.m., and then to a dance to the music of Fata Morgana, scheduled to begin at 10 p.m.

While guests make merry, candidates for Miss Soyuzivka will be interviewed by a panel of judges. Just before midnight the judges will announce the name of Miss Soyuzivka 1998, and she will be crowned by her predecessor, Miss Soyuzivka 1997 Tanya Kosc.

On display throughout the weekend in Soyuzivka's Main House will be the art of three Kozaks: the late Edward, and his sons Jarema and George

Guests can end their weekend just as they began it: by enjoying Soyuzivka's cuisine, as Sunday brunch is served in the Main House dining room. They can also choose to participate in the annual "Den Soyuzianky" - a program presented by the Ukrainian National Women's League of America - which this year is dedicated to writer Zoya Kohut.
