Stevo won 110 Instamatic Camera

In order to participate, you had to be Ukrainian and prove it, you could not just say your name was Connelwalchuk or Koenigsbergerenko or that you liked Perogies and Cabbage Rolls. You also had to be on a legit Ball Hockey team.

“We had quite a bit of money left over this year and decided to send four of our top Ukrainian Tomcats”. Stated Rocky.

In the evening hours, they had the Dance Ensemble Shumka perform and at the dance, Ron Kahut and his orchestra played.

According to some reports, they brought in over 400 Ukrainian women from Ukraine for the Zabava (Dance).  “Man, I met an Oksana, a Marika, a Lesia, a Roslana, and about 20 others from Ukraine, they all wanted to get married that night”, indicated a smiling Stevo, “I think it was because of the camera I won”. Stevo said and added, “I had it in my front pocket”.

Four better Ukes, could not have been selected by the Tomcats.
