COLEBROOK, Conn. – On Sunday, June 9, a small but enthusiastic group of donors and Bobriwka supporters attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new front canopy at Camp Bobriwka.
President Andy Kebalo welcomed the guests and thanked donors for their support. A donors’ commemorative plaque was presented and is planned to be forever enshrined in the rafters of the new canopy.
Immediately afterwards, the guests were escorted into the mess hall to view the progress of the new stage addition. Walter Kebalo, the designer and construction manager, held a brief talk on the stage design, followed up by a question and answer session.
Bobriwka staff members treated the guests to hot dogs and hamburgers, washed down by Lvivske 1715 and other Ukrainian beers. A raffle was held for a set of hand-made Ukrainian embroidery. The 2019 summer at Bobriwka is shaping up to be another busy one with returning events like Bandura at Bobriwka Reunion and the Orlando Pagan School of Ukrainian Dance Workshop.
