SUMMARY:Bulgaria: A Journey to the Edge of Europe with Gerri Griswold
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22\, 2025 \nTravel to the far reaches of Europe with Gerri Griswold and discover the riches of Bulgaria. Griswold and her “traveling triumvirate” were drawn here to experience the annual Surva International Festival of Masquerade Games in Pernik\, where\, since pagan times\, men and now women\, dress in elaborate costumes representing spirits who chase away evil winter and welcome the upcoming spring. The costumes cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt. Lively dancing is part of the event. We’ll also visit Bulgaria’s capital\, Sofia\, and learn about this ancient nation’s rich history both past and present. From Roman ruins to decrepit reminders of Communism\, from the Black Sea to the breathtaking Rila Monastery set high in the mountains…..you’ll fall in love with this ancient country. 2:00 p.m.\, A. B. Ceder Room and Microsoft Teams\, Members: FREE\, Non-Members: $10.00. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. Register online:Bulgaria Registration \nA Microsoft Teams link will be provided when you register.
