A gift for Consul Jure Zmauc

Marie Pivik led a Slovenian song at the farewell event at the Polka Hall of Fame for Slovenian Consul General Jure Zmauc who is going back to Slovenia after 6 years in Cleveland and the US. She chose the song Sem Fantic Z Zelenega Stajerja which roughly translates to 'I'm the fellow from Stajerja' and Consul Zmauc is from Stajerja.

Slovenian Consul General Jure Zmauc spoke at the farewell event at the Polka Hall of Fame and told a story of a Slovenian family who came to the US with no money and didn't speak English. They were told to go to Cleveland where they were welcomed.
