Imagine water the color of emeralds, rare trout the size of salmon, scenery to knock your socks off, and food and wine that rival any culinary capital in the world. Imagine Slovenia, an angling destination that absolutely must be at the top of your bucket list! And don't go alone. If ever there was a place to bring your non-fishing significant other it's the sunny side of the Alps at the top of the Balkan Peninsula.

Sit down and watch, or set your DVR for 5:00pm EST today or 2:30pm EST tomorrow (Saturday), as Grizzly Hackle's Wild On The Fly begins its three-part Balkan Road Trip series with an angling adventure up the Soca River valley in western Slovenia. Don't miss it! http://www.wildonthefly.com/

Article and photo by Ann Zakelj

JAN 1, 2012 This season marked the 21st anniversary of the St Vitus Christmas Choir, whose two annual concerts have become a cherished tradition for the parishioners of St Vitus Church and St Mary of the Assumption in Collinwood, as well as the for the American-Slovenian community that they serve.  Under the capable direction of John Sršen, this year’s concerts included a varied selection of traditional carols in Slovenian and English, along with Ave Maria by Vinko Vodopivec and the always popular duo of And the Glory and Hallelujah Chorus by George Frideric Handel.

A string quartet joined longtime organist and friend Bill Patrick in accompanying the choir.  This season’s strings included Liz Rothenbusch on I Violin, Mary Beth Ions and (St Mary parishioner) Joseph Stepec on II Violin, Laura Shuster and Mary Beth Ions on Viola, and Robert Rist on Cello.
