[TURKEY RUN :: SERB FEST - Online] Fire & Ice Extravaganza ::

4.09.12 :: TR 2000 Attendee, Sean Sullivan Confirmed for TR 2012!
OLAF confirmed late Monday night that one time Serb Fest attendee, Sean Sullivan and his wife Melissa have confirmed their plans to attend TR this year! Exciting news, as this will mark the longest period of time before a past participant has returned to TR. A return was rumored in early 2004, but never materialized. We're thrilled to have Sean back and welcome his wife Melissa. We hope that his return will exceed what surely are fond memories of his first trip over a decade ago!

4.08.12 :: TR 2004 Attendee and Inspiration Behind the "Intellectual of the Year" Award, Vince Kus, Chats with TR Online!

Vince Kus
2004 Intellectual of the Year

While it’s been nearly 8 years since his one and only trip to Serb Fest, his attendance is still one of the most talked about in Serb Fest History. TR Online has been in pursuit of Vince for 2 years with the hopes of catching up and getting his take on his place in Serb Fest history! Vince was the final addition to the TR 2004 line-up and it proved to be a great one. He no doubt was able to provide an unusual brand of entertainment to the group - always a welcomed trait.

In 2008, the Intellectual of the Year award was officially renamed in his honor, as its first ever recipient; a fitting way to pay respect to the intellectual of all intellectual TR attendees, past, present and future.

His eventual return is among the highest anticipated of past Serb Fest attendees. For those of you never having had the pleasure of experiencing the “Intellectual’s” company, this summary of our exchange gives a glimpse into his unique and eloquent “intellectual stylings”

3.17.12 :: TR 2010 Rookie of the Year, Brian O'Kelly to Return in 2012
Word was received that TR 2010 Rookie of the Year, Brian O'Kelly, will be returning to TR this year after a one year hiatus due to the birth of his niece, Eloise Berger just prior to TR 2011. We're excited to have his energy return to TR this year!

3.12.12 :: Gotta Start 'em Young!
Congratulations are in order for 3 families welcoming new life to the Serb Fest family this year! Carter Marshall Jude, born on March 7 to Scott & Julie Berger (yes folks, 'Marshall" is indeed a nod to 'Marshall, IN') and James Patrick born to OLAF & Julie on March 12 will be making their TR debuts after less than 3 months of life. This is reminiscent of Danica Boskovic's first trip in 2004 at a comparable age at which time Crazy Dan exclaimed "Gotta start 'em young!". Feces Mike and family are also expecting a new child at the beginning of April and are also expected to attend this year! We will update you with more info after their baby is born!

UPDATE: Congratulations to Feces Mike and family on their daughter, Kate Lorraine, born on April 1. Sadly however, they are unable to attend this year. We look forward to their return in 2013!

2.18.12 :: I Know Its Only February, But......
Dear Turkey Run, I know its only February, but I yearn for the warm Spring air filled with the scent of charcoal, lighter fluid and meat. I know its only February, but as life becomes more hectic with each passing year, the days, weeks and months tick by just a little bit faster. And so, I know that while on paper, it may seem that Memorial Day weekend is beyond my reach, it will ultimately be here before I know it. So Turkey Run, I know its only February, but as you emerge from Winter, I respectfully ask that you to be prepared for the legend to continue! Ziveli! - The Men, Women & Children of Serb Fest

5.31.11 :: TR 2011, While Unconventional, Still a Success!
TR 2011 may have inadvertently been without a few key traditions, but there was no shortage of good times! Great people, great food, and plenty of classic moments anchored yet another phenomenal Serb Fest! Let me take another opportunity to congratulate Nutz the much deserved 2011 Golden Cevapcici Award! This only adds to his legacy at Serb Fest! Check out the TR 2011 Overview page to relive the memories and for the recipients of other TR 2011 Awards.
