For those of you living in driving distance of Columbus, OH and looking for a cultural event about Bulgaria, please consider attending the 2010 MacGahan Festival in New Lexington, Ohio. The main day of the festival will be June 12.
The day will begin at 10:30 when the Very Rev. Vladimir Ivanov will officiate a Memorial Service at the grave of Januarius MacGahan at New Lexington Cemetery. Last year this service was bi-lingual, so I am assuming the same for this year. From the cemetery, attendees will proceed to the MacGahan Statue for a floral tribute and then to a luncheon at the Perry County Library at noon. The lunch will be catered by a local restaurant and will also include a program. Kavatsi, a Bulgarian rock band, will perform.
Last year, the festival was well-attended by Americans and Bulgarians alike. Among the guests of honor this year will be the Bulgarian Minister of Education as well as the Bulgarian Minister for Bulgarians Living Abroad.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Carma Jean Rausch at carmajeanrausch@gmail.com or at 740-342-1870. The event is free, but organizers would like a head count for the luncheon. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me privately at viviane8 @ yahoo.com
