| Turkey
Run 1999 was perhaps the most dramatic and consequently the most
memorable Serb Fests (for the select few of us who experienced it)
in recent memory. With Olaf noticeably missing from the young group,
Scott, Heitz-Nutz, & XX joined the Zelenkovich's at TR. Many
important events occurred and many treasured traditions were born.
In response to the incredible white trash (WT) noticed at Turkey
Run, the group adopted "TR" as a commonly used acronym
when referring to Turkey Run as we would similarly use "WT"
when referring to White Trash. Of course, in addition to XX numerous
near-death experiences, TR 99 also saw the initiation of the wife-beater
& pre-hike wife beater photo, and the act of push-ups en-route
to Turkey Run as a pseudo-warm-up.... It was a weekend like this
that solidified the importance & significance of the weekend
to the original attendees of present-day Serb Fest... this message
would be spread to others and the weekend would continue to blossom
in coming years. |

| The
group prepares for the weekend with a set of push-ups in the Zelenkovich
driveway & pose with Mr. Z as a tribute to his fore-sight for
cargo-shorts: the current style in 1999, but a staple in his wardrobe
since the mid-seventies. Truly a man who knew where he was going.

| The
most memorable moment of TR '99 and the biggest scare in TR history,
XX breathes a tremendous sigh of relief after he nearly loses his
life. If not for the grip of his wife-beater, we may not have him
with us today. Lets all take a moment and thank the powers above
for our good fortune not only in that instance, but for every year
at Turkey Run. |
