"Movie to highlight the wonderful time had by all at the 1st annual SERB FEST 2010 after an absence of many years. This two-day event showcased author Gregory Freeman signing his THE FORGOTTEN 500 book and answering questions to a full house audience at the War Memorial in Johnstown, PA on Saturday, July 31. Chee-Chee Czubak, hostess with the mostest from Johnstown, then escorted Gregory Freeman and "Baba Mim" Bizic to the Uzelac Family Reunion (140 strong!). Before the night was over, Pete Anzalone from Canton, OH & Johnstown native Bob Stramanak paid us an unexpected, but welcomed visit. Sunday church service was conducted by Rev. Milos Markovic. The beautiful displays you see here were made by Kristina Marinkovich, who also served as a Bride for the wedding ceremony. Groom was Christopher McAllister who also served as a choir conductor while regular choir director Suzette Gardenhour worked in the kitchen. The crowd enthusiastically welcomed Gregory Freeman who didn't disappoint, telling about the brave deeds of the Serbian people, their General Draza Mihailovich, and local Cambria County native George (GOV) Musulin, a hero in THE FORGOTTEN 500. The event was jointly sponsored by the Johnstown Bottleworks Ethnic Museum and St. Nicholas Parish. Rich Uzelac did a fanatastic job as MC. SNF Director Cissy Rebich brought a gift of $200 from the Savez, and Mim Bizic also briefly spoke about Johnstown's warm hospitality. It was a huge success as the lines snaked all the way around the church to get to the incredible Serb food items inside. Ziveli, SRBI!"
