Is there anyone going to Byzantine Catholic Family Day (a.k.a. Russkij Den') at Kennywood?

I can only wish! Ride the Thunderbolt, the Racer and the Jack Rabbit for me! I don't care for the metal coasters, the wooden ones are the only way to go!

Boy, it seeems that year after year the attendance is less and less. I did not see many people or clergy there. After the short program (and I mean short...) everyone scattered.

What happened to the good ol' days of Russkij Den' when there would be fierce competitions between parishes to win the trophies?

What happened to the times when you would have Liturgy right next to the Jack Rabbit hearing the cars go by every minute with screaming people?

Those were the days....is there anyone out there that thinks the same?

Do the eparchies and parishes advertise it? Encourage it? Didn't there used to be a Molieben at least?
