HORSHAM, Pa. - Skillfully carved into the beautiful landscape of Philadelphia's northern suburbs, the Ukrainian American Sports Center Tryzub offers a wide array of sports and cultural programming to enhance your summer plans.

On August 24, commencing at noon, Tryzub will host its 12th annual Ukrainian Independence Day Festival, featuring a rich program of folk entertainment - the Oros Sisters; the Voloshky and Obrij Ukrainian dance ensembles; and the Harmonia orchestra. A dance to the music of the Harmonia and Karpaty orchestras will follow.

On June 15 at noon, for the third year in a row, Tryzub will proudly host the U.S. Amateur Cup (men's and women's) Region I Finals on its fields. The best amateur teams from the entire Atlantic Seaboard will assemble for this tournament. At the same time, the spectators can enjoy a Ukrainian festival, a dance and a picnic. These highlights are interspersed among a series of informal picnic-dances, sports tournaments and festivals from Memorial Day weekend through the fall.

Also, Tryzub invites readers to send their children to its soccer camps (to be announced) and to play on its 20 youth teams.

The sports center's banquet hall, picnic grove and fields are available for rent. Call (215) 343-5412 or visit Tryzub at its website: http://www.tryzubsportscenter.org/ for more information.
