Yonkers Ukrainian Heritage Festival Website featured in New York Times

On Sunday February 7, 1999, readers of the New York Times in Westchester County were treated to a front page special feature in section 14 devoted to websites about the area. The background image used in the article was the website of our very own Yonkers Ukrainian Heritage Festival. Short reviews of a number of other websites were offered, and below the image we include the quotes referencing the Yonkers Festival site. Unfortunately, the author, Nick Ravo, took a snapshot of the homepage before it was updated, so the year that appears in the image is "1998." Nevertheless, we are grateful for the attention given our site, and we invite everyone to visit and find out about the June event. GO Yonkers!

Visit the Yonkers Ukrainian Heritage Festival Website:

and we hope to see you at the festival this June!
