A Ukrainian Summer

Supplement to The Ukrainian Weekly, June 7, 1998

Yes, it's almost summertime. And Ukrainians in North America are busy making their plans. Here to offer some suggestions for this year, or the future, is The Ukrainian Weekly's second annual supplement titled "A Ukrainian Summer."

We lead off with a new venue, or more precisely a newly rediscovered destination in western Canada that has been dubbed "Kalyna Country." Included also is a listing of Canada's most popular summer festivals at which things Ukrainian take center stage.

We review perennial favorites like the camps of Plast and SUM, in addition to the beloved Soyuzivka resort in upstate New York and Ukrainians' own "Little Tanglewood" in Hunter, N.Y.

There are travelogues and accounts of experiences in Ukraine from Bukovyna in the country's southwest corner to Kirovohrad in the central region, as well as from Mykolaiv - the one in the Lviv Oblast, that is.

And finally there is our appendix for your datebook: "A Ukrainian Summer Calendar."

P.S.: Have a great summer and keep reading your community newspaper!
