SAVIC HOMES
Welcome On behalf of the organizing committee, Dobro dosli (welcome) to our second annual K-W Serbian Food Festival. It is our pleasure to be able to share with you our culture and cuisine. You will be entertained by a live Serbian orchestra and our Serbian Folklore Dancers. There is a wide array of authentic Serbian foods to sample. You can experience cevape, vesalice (kabobs) and goulash. If you haven't been to a pig roast, then you can try our delicious roasted pig and lamb on a spit. For those who have a sweet tooth, we will be serving our traditional desserts along with traditional Serbian coffee. Come to the bar and enjoy a glass of rakija (plum brandy), a century-old drink, with your hosts. Ziveli! (Cheers!) Our biggest thank you goes out to our volunteers. There are countless hours needed to organize and run this festival. Without the volunteers, this festival would not be a success. A special recognition to the “Kolo� of Serbian Sisters for all the hours spent preparing food and desserts. We would also like to thank the Serbian community and our corporate sponsors for all their support and donations. It is our biggest hope that this festival will allow you and your family to spend a weekend in a tasty, educational, and enjoyable way. This is a small showcase of the Serbian culture geared towards bringing community and families together. Come and Enjoy a Taste of Serbia! Sincerely, Your Organizers

A Taste of Serbia Serbia is located in south-east Europe on the route linking Europe and Asia, occupying an area about 12 times smaller than the province of Ontario. Throughout history, Serbians ruled over several smaller states with different name, but in the 13th century, Stefan II Nemanjic (known as Stephen the first-crowned) managed to promote the nation to the status of an empire and to establish the long lasting dynasty of the Nemanjici (Nemanyichi). His brother, Sava Nemanjic (St. Sava), was the first Archbishop of the autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church, four centuries after the nation was Christianized. Despite Stephen the first-crowned being the first king, Serbians call themselves today “sons of St. Sava”, showing that the spiritual birth of nation is of greatest importance. Modern-day Serbia is a country with aproximately 9 million people, with another 4 million Serbians living on 5 continents in more than 100 countries. The country's National Anthem is a song from the 19th century entitled “God of Justice”, occasionally referred to as the "Serbian National Prayer". If you ever visit Serbia, you will see beautiful ethno-villages, famous mountain resorts, healing spas, century-old architecture, and untouched forests and waterways, with each region of the country being authentic yet linked to all of the others. Christian pilgrimage across the country is also a special experience due to Sebia's many medieval churches and monasteries, particularly in the southern province of Kosovo and Metohija. Serbians will tell you about the nation's many sufferings throughout history, but they will always greet you with a warm-heart and will go out of their way to make you feel at home.
