Magyar Matters Hungarian Cultural Center hosts car show, gulyás events by Richard E. Sarosi HIRAM, OH — The Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio (HCCNEO) continued a summer full of activities with two recent events at its grounds, located at 12027 Abbott Road, Hiram. The first was a classic car show and picnic held on Sunday, July 22. Despite the threat of rain, the event attracted 27 cars which were on display. Prizes were awarded to the crowd's favorites. The Center's traditional picnic foods were available for purchase. Local musical group, The Hungarians, filled the air with Magyar music and kept the people dancing. If you have a classic car that you are proud of and that you think other people would enjoy seeing, please keep the HCCNEO in mind and bring your vehicle out to the club grounds in 2019. The second event which took place with much excitement and anticipation was the first-ever Gulyás Cook- Off that took place on Saturday, Aug. 4. This new event to the HCCNEO's calendar drew a most interesting group of gulyás chefs who shared their styles of gulyás cooking with others. Many of the entrants decorated their table space with Hungarian linens, kettles, pictures, maps, figurines, old kolbász makers, and so much more. It was quite the sight to see and it added to the festivities. A DJ played upbeat Hungarian dance music along with traditional music selections. Prizes were awarded to the best gulyás as selected by the crowd in attendance. In addition, three Hungarian radio show hosts from the Cleveland area acted as judges and joined in the fun, selecting their favorite gulyás. Be sure to check the HCCNEO's 2019 calendar for the date of next year's cook-off.

The HCCNEO's grounds in Hiram have served as the location for the WPA Picnic for the past three years. Your continued support is much needed and appreciated as the club continues its remodeling project. Yearly memberships are available, donations are encouraged and volunteers are appreciated and needed. Garden marks anniversary with golf outing and dinner by Richard E. Sarosi CLEVELAND - As part of the celebrations marking its 80th anniversary, the Cleveland Hungarian Cultural Garden hosted a golf outing and dinner at Barrington Golf Club on Wednesday, July 18. The golfers enjoyed the opportunity to play on a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at the Barrington Club. The meal, 18 holes of golf and the awards dinner afterwards made for an enjoyable day. The Hungarian Cultural Garden is considered a shining jewel in the chain of gardens that make up the Cleveland Cultural Gardens.
