Fun facts about Slovenia

Slovenia Is Home to the Real-Life Aquaman

Slovenia is the home to several remarkable individuals with superman-like qualities, one of whom is the legendary long-distance swimmer, Martin Strel.

He might not have the chiseled abs or the trident of Aquaman, but his achievements are nothing short of amazing. Martin swam some of the world’s longest and most dangerous rivers, the Yangtze, Danube, Mississippi, and heck even the Amazon in 2007. This earned him 5 Guinness World Records, including being the first man to swim the entire length of the Amazon. What a champ!

Come out to the Park to help us celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of an independent Slovenian State.

This link outlines the events leading up to and including the short 10 day war that created what we all know now as an Independent Slovenia.

Please remember no outside food, there will be lots of delicious home cooked food for sale including Spit Roasted Pig and live music (SIBAJ) for your dancing pleasure.
