AmCham Thanksgiving Wild West PartyThis year’s AmCham Thanksgiving dinner had the tastes of Wild West. Organized in the new restaurant Fort Apache Steak House in Strmec (Sveta Nedjelja), it felt as though we walked into a 19th Cent. fort on the Texas-Mexican border. The guests enjoyed traditional American specialties, such as stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce & apple pie, as well as listened to good country music.
While the parents were relaxing in good company, the children were doing the rain dance, dressing as fearsome Buffalo Bill and beautiful Pocahontas, and creating Native American artifacts (organized by Bubamarac Playroom).

AmCham's 4th July Picnic

 
Topic:
Although the Saturday Morning on the July 01 seemed to promise another rainy day, the afternoon was filled with sunshine. There is no better combination that being in the nature, relaxing with your friends and family, eating great food & listening to quality music all day.

The kids were running around and jumping at the Bogadura Kids Zone, playing volleyball and basketball...while their parents had an opportunity to try out their courage by playing Flag Football with the Thunder Zagreb team.

Picnic Photos

Again this year, our biggest sponsor was Diner Club International (Gold Sponsor), and we thank them for being the AmCham picnic partners from the beginning. Also, Colliers International was our official picnic "Sponsor".

Hotel ARCOTEL Allegra Zagreb welcomed the guests with delicious, fruit plates and Joe’s Bar fresh cocktails, and of course the famous "Hit the nail" game. Gavrilović once again had a fabulous barbeque and also the line of people wanting more. Karlovačka Pivovara provided the beer and the staff that seemed to get the attention of the male population :)

Four Roses prepared great cocktails and the American traditional game "Horseshoe throwing". Guests also enjoyed Coca-Cola drinks, McDonald’s pies & juice, and YOPPI Zagreb coffee with Italian flair. Our special "4th July" cake was prepared by Hotel Dubrovnik Zagreb.

Along with the AmCham executive director Mr. Damir Vucić and the AmCham president Mr. Josip Krznarić, the U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission, Mr. Greg Delawie also shared his thoughts on the 230th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Famous Croatian musician Mrs. Zdenka Kovačiček, sang the U.S. national anthem.

The perfect day was accompanied with great music & dance by Garcia Band (sponsored by Emerson Network Power), and the spectacular Wrigley fireworks ended the celebration.
