Soyuzivka photo album: New Year's Eve festivities

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - The Ukrainian National Association estate, Soyuzivka, rang in the New Year with special festivities and celebrations that ran from New Year's Eve, December 31, 2003, through January 4, 2004, as many took advantage of an extended holiday weekend. The resort offered a "New Year's Eve Extravaganza" that included a formal banquet with an open cocktail hour, a dance to the music of Temp and, of course, champagne served all night. There were fun activities for Soyuzivka guests on other days as well, including dancing and a cabaret. Seen on these pages (clockwise, beginning with top right) are: Soyuzivka's snow-covered gazebo; a view of informal dancing in the Main House lobby; the Soyuzivka wait staff ready to serve guests; the New Year's Eve cocktail hour in the Main House; entertainment and games during cabaret night with Ron Cahute of the Burya orchestra; and New Year's Eve guests Ksenia Rakowsky (left) and Ivanka Olesnycky during the festive dinner in the Veselka hall.
