At the Slovak House this month, the Slovak Social Club "Ludovit Stur" are having Traditional Pig Slaughter Feast and Wine Ball. From their Facebook invitation:

If you love "klbasi" and all the other good things that are made at a "zabijacka" then this is the "zabava" for you! We have Admir Tokic coming who will also entertain us with his vast repetoire of Yugoslav songs in addition to our Slovak Group Zmena 5. This is sure to be just like at a "zabijacka" back home! Please make your booking with Eva Bilek on 0425 739 372.
