William Penn Life, 2013 (48. évfolyam, 1-12. szám)

For the past 47 years, the Smithsonian Institution has presented its annual Folklife Festival. Each year, a different country is featured, allowing those attending a chance to learn a little about that country's culture. This year, Hungary was chosen to be the main focus of the festival.

I hope some of our fellow WPA members had the opportunity to attend this event, held June 26 to 30 and July 3 to 7 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. I experienced the joy of attending this festival with several family members, and I can honestly say I felt great pride at seeing our Hungarian homeland displayed and presented in such a professional and tasteful manner. The festival brought a little piece of Hungary to America and demonstrated to all what a wonderful, industrious, productive, entertaining and proud people Hungarians are. The performers and artisans were highly skilled and talented individuals.

Long live the Magyars!
