Serb
Fest returned in 2004 and ultimately proved to be everything it was
anticipated to be for the 12 months leading up to it. So much came together
during the year including the advent of this website and more importantly,
the "Fire & Ice Extravaganza" documentary that was officially
released the night of Turkey Run Eve. For the second straight year,
we once again, drastically increased our numbers in attendance, bringing
the total to 12 attendees. This of course yeilded an incredible 5 orders
of cevapcici and approximately 13 cases of beer. Despite a few hang-ups
to start the weekend, most notably, forgetting $80 worth of tomatoes
at Jovan's house, we were able to regroup and replace the tomatoes at
a "farmer's market" type stand along the side of Highway 41
just outside Marshall, IN. The equivalent number of tomatoes coincidently
only cost $28 the second time around.
Who could
possibly think of Turkey Run 2004 without feeling blessed to have spent
the weekend with some old familiar faces, including Cica Bora, Teta
Cica, Cica Daca, & Teta Lela. We were truly in the midst of legends
and their presence meant that much more after having missed them in
2003. We were also thrilled to have Crazy Dan Boskovic back this year
after his absence in 2003 as well. The atmosphere is electric when he
enters the scene, especially with an indian head-dress.
TR '04
only solidified the claim that Memorial Day weekend is in fact the most
anticiapated weekend of the year!
