Slovenia presentation set at Colfax Library

Mateja Lončar, a Pullman resident and Slovenian national, will present Slovenia: Culture, Sports and Food on Thursday, Dec. 21, from 5-6 p.m. in the Colfax Library’s meeting room. This lively presentation will describe the country’s regions and touch on selected milestones in its recent history, some of which are curiously commemorated through sports events such as the Run of Trios, a team road race. A home-made typical dessert will be offered to listeners.

Slovenia borders Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, all of which were part of the same country at different points in time. Slovenia seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991 to reach sovereignty for the first time in history.
