This Sunday!! Come celebrate with us!

Celebrate 50 Years of the Jeff Pecon Orchestra
SNPJ Farm, Sunday, July 20

Celebrate 50 years of polka gold with the Jeff Pecon Orchestra with an all-star salute, Sunday, July 20, 2025, at SNPJ Farm in Kirtland, Ohio. The Polka Classics lead the Pecon tribute with accordionist Eddie Rodick and guest artists, including Brian O’Boyle, bandleader Fred Kuhar, and Nashville’s Joey Miskulin.

Jeff Pecon, John Pecon and Ralph Delligatti continue the Cleveland-Style Polka legacy of the late Johnny Pecon. With Jeff on the accordion, John on the drums, and Ralph on bass, the Jeff Pecon Orchestra has proven to be one of the best-loved polka bands since the guys first got together in 1975.

The Polka Classics perform for dancing from 3 to 7. Dinners are served from 2:00 on, along with sandwiches, refreshments and specials on the menu. Admission is $8 for four hours of live music. Your hosts are the members and friends of the SNPJ Farm Board and the Cleveland Federation of Lodges of the Slovene National Benefit Society (SNPJ).

SNPJ Farm is just off Chardon Road (Route 6) at 10946 Heath Road in Kirtland, Ohio, three miles east of Route 306 and six miles west of Route 44. Note: Chardon Road is closed in Willoughby Hills. From points west, take I-90 to the Route 306 exit and head south. Contact 216-481-1379 for details.
