Sun 7/24 @ 1PM
Come out to the SNPJ Slovenian Farm in Kirtland for an afternoon of spiritual uplift and polka music as Father Norm Gajdzinski celebrates the always-popular Polka Mass, set to familiar polka and waltz tunes. “Father Norm Gajdzinski grew up with polka music and is the guest celebrant for this unique expression of faith, based upon Slovenian-American musical traditions,” they tell us. There will be sing-along sheets for full participation!
Following the mass, the local Wayne Tomsic Orchestra takes the stage from 3-7pm for dancing, performing not only classic Cleveland-style (Slovenian) polkas, but also rock, pop, country and show tunes.
Will there be food? Your Slovenian grandmother is disgusted you would even ask. Chef Dean will be offering his mile-high bologna sandwiches, and there will be smoked Slovenian sausage and roast beef available as well, starting at 2pm
Admission is $8; 18 and under are free. Call 216-481-1379 for more information.
