20 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 2010 Branch 95, Central New York Regional Council, Co - Hosts Ukrainian Children’s Day at the Ellenville Library Ukrainian Day Information Center Many in the Mid - Hudson Ukrainian com - munity live in the Kerhonkson area of Ulster County, possibly because the beautiful landscape reminds them of their home in Ukraine’s Carpathian Mountain region. Members of the community actively celebrate their culture at home, at church, and at festivals , often sharing their traditions with the general public. The center of many activities and events is the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kerhonkson , which provides a meeting place for dance groups, scouts, adult social clubs , and other groups . Across the street from the church is Soyuzivka, the well - know n Ukrainian cultural center and resort that offers recreational and cultural camps and events. On Saturday, June 26, 2010, UNWLA Branch 95, along with members of the Mid - Hudson Ukrainian communit y, the Dutchess County Arts Council, and Stewart’s Shops, co - sponsored a Ukrainian Children’s Day Program at the Ellenville Public Library & Museum. Ukrainian Children’s Day is part of the library’s Children’s Day series, which explores children’s lore as practiced in the cultural communities living in the Mid - Hudson Valley. The program was well attended, attracting much interest from children and adults alike . Children were invited to participate in various fun activities: writing their names in Ukrainia n Cyrillic script, learning about Ukrainian embroidery (vyshyvky), watching pysanky demon - strations, coloring paper pysanky, and enjoying traditional Ukrainian snacks. They also had the opportunity to see a Ukrainian folk dance and then (with the help of t he performers) attempt the dance steps themselves. Participants and presenters at the program included Branch 95 members who displayed a korovai (a ritual wedding bread), brought samples of kovbasa and medivnyk (Ukrainian honey cake). Members of the Metro politan Sheptytsky Branch of CYM Goshen drew pysanky for the onlookers and sang traditional Ukrainian folk songs accompanied by their banduras. The CYM group also presented the folk dance demonstration and manned the information booths. Members of Branch 9 5 con - structed colorful information boards that showed how vyshyvky differ from region to region in Ukraine, explained the symbolism behind the korovai, and provided examples of Ukrainian icons and various regional traditional costumes.
