On December 11th we welcomed 30 children, along with grandparents and parents, to our Museum for an afternoon of  Hungarian culture! Hungarian folk dancing, under the instruction of folk dance instructor László Tihanyi, was the highlight, along with a visit from Mikulás Bácsi.

But the 'Old Fashioned" flavors of traditional honey cookies (mézeskalács) decorated by our young people added to the total experience enjoyed by our young guests, along with seasonal crafts and vocabulary games to enhance their knowledge of Hungarian words for various aspects of dancing and music. This afternoon was made possible by all the volunteers who support our Museum in our efforts to share the richness of Hungarian culture with our visitors. One of the nicest parts of the afternoon came at the end, when all of us, young and older, gathered for refreshments and visiting. The variety of delicious Hungarian flavors, both sweet and savory, was truly amazing!!! This was a beautiful way to celebrate the season and wish each other "Boldog Ünnepek"!

What a wonderful evening we had as supporters of the Cleveland Hungarian Museum gathered together for our 25th Silver Anniversary Vintner Dinner!  Some of our friends who were unable to attend in person, joined us virtually for part of the evening, and some friends of the Museum made donations to support our event and received wonderful gift packs of Hungarian wines.  We were honored to have as special guests from Hungary Dr. Márta Mátrai, Deputy of the Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly, Dr. Zsolt Páva, from the Hungarian Consulate in Chicago, and Ms. Beatrix Kese, Deputy Director of Foreign Relations of the Hungarian National Assemby.
