The
Serb Fest Hall of Fame was introduced in 2003 at a time when
today's generation believed that the days of sharing Memorial Day
Weekend with the elder generation of Serb Fest attendees were likely
behind them. And while their attendance resumed just one year later,
there was a sense that the Serb Fest torch had been passed to the
next generation, and in light of this, they felt it appropriate
to honor those who established Serb Fest as the time-honored tradition
that it remains today. Uncertain of the future attendance of the
newly inducted Serb Fest Hall of Famers, Jovan Zelenkovich offered
up these words to the attendees of TR 2003 in the weeks leading
up to the weekend. These words remain as relevent to today's Serb
Fest almost a decade later. |

Like
Jovan, Monica played an important role in keeping Serb Fest alive
through the transitional years of 1998-2003. She's recruited quite
a few girls over the past decade, but most notably, Emma and Eden
have become regulars to TR and expected attendees for many years
to come!

Another
direct decendant of TR Hall of Famers, Aleks is always expected
to make an appearance at Serb Fest - even though she occassionally
needs to be "talked into it"... Nevertheless, by the
end of the weekend each year, she's always glad she made the trip!

keep a handle on her 2 daughters, she's first in line for a good
time, and she's always willing to toss you a beer from the "Mother
Ship" on the Beer Float. |

Emma
Russo :: Serb Fest Regular
Serb
Fest Origin :: Stevanovic Family
First Serb Fest :: 1993
Recruited by :: Monica Stevanovic
Family
:: Igor Russo(Husband)
TR
Online, as of 2009, has finally learned the details of Emma's
impressive history at Serb Fest! For many years, it seems only
a select few knew of the true pioneering she played a role in
for her generation and to the rest of us, her history was unclear,
assumed by many to have simply been attending since the late '90's
when many of them had first attended. It turns out, Emma has been
attending TR regularly since as early as 1993 (confirmed by an
old Stevanovic Family photo). This makes her the first non-serbian
friend of either Jovan or Monica to attend TR, a year before the
once-thought-to-be first non-serbian attendee, Jeff Bott, made
his first trip in 1994. We've always appreciated Emma's company
at Serb Fest, but knowing what an extensive history she has, brings
the appreciation to a new level!

Julie
Berger :: Serb Fest Regular
Serb
Fest Origin :: Zelenkovich Family
First Serb Fest :: 2005
Family
:: Scott Berger (Husband),
Grant Berger (Son), Carter Berger (Son), Jeff
Berger (Brother-in-law), Erin Berger (Sister-in-law), Eloise
Berger (Neice), Hazel Berger (Neice), Graham Berger (Nephew)
In
many ways, she's the "Rosa Parks of Turkey Run", breaking
the infamous barrier of "No girls allowed at Turkey Run"
in 2005 as Scott Berger became the first of the Fire & Ice
guys to bring a significant other to Turkey Run. But even years
before her first official trip to TR, she was making an impact
on the weekend by providing baked goods in the Pink Sweets Cooler.
Since becoming a regular attendee, she's initiated several new
menu items - most notably, BBQ Pulled Pork, introduced at TR 08.
She's also responsible for the creation of the Golden
Cevapcici Award. In 2010 she initiated "Sangria Sunday"
in an effort to establish an alternative to the Beer Float for
those who graciously stay behind to watch the kids.
