"Unique Lithuanian-American school building is in danger!

Mount Carmel, PA, Lithuanian school was built in 1923. While nearly every other pre-WW2 Lithuanian-American schools was built as a regular building, Mt. Carmel one is uniquely Lithuanian in its decor, with a huge Vytis bas-relief and Lithuanian inscriptions on its facade.

As such, Mt. Carmel Lithuanian school is featured on the cover of our book „Lithuanian Landmarks in the USA“. Moreover, it is included in the official list of heritage sites important to Lithuania that was made according to a Lithuanian-American treaty.

As we were informed, however, currently, the owner of the school building (not a Lithuanian organization) is in conflict with local municipality. The owner is accused of failing in its obligations for the building upkeep and thus, the municiaplity aims to use eminent domain to aquire the building and – if nothing else comes up – likely demolish it.

Vilius Žalpys, who is a key leader in saving Lithuanian heritage sites in Pennsylvania, as well as local Lithuanian Club and others are leading the effort to save the building. We aim to spread the word about the building‘s importance and uniqueness, which could and does attract attention to Mt. Carmel area from Lithuania, Lithuanian-Americans and beyond.

(note: the building is no longer Lithuanian owned because it was a parish school that belonged to a Lithuanian parish; however, the parish (like all the Lithuanian Roman Catholic parishes of the region) had been closed by the diocese and the school building sold)"

"Dog Trekking in Lithuania: An Active Leisure for Everyone

If you're looking for an unconventional way to spend time in various Lithuanian cities, consider contacting the Vilnius Relax entertainment and leisure agency. The team offers over 50 activities, ensuring there's something to suit everyone's tastes and budget. We went dog trekking, which is an active walk with huskies near Vilnius.

Dog trekking is an adventure that's especially appealing to active leisure enthusiasts. Each participant is assigned a specially trained dog, making dog trekking suitable for both adults and children.

Vilnius Relax offers routes of varying distances, from 1 to 10 km. Before the walk, you'll be instructed about the tour by the guide explaining the route and how to interact with dogs. The trail passes through beautiful natural areas. During the walk, the dog's leash is attached to the participant's belt. The dog runs ahead and pulls you along, helping you maintain your pace on the rugged terrain. The walk is fun and invigorating, and interacting with beautiful, well-behaved huskies provides an incredible boost of positive emotions.

After the dog trek, you can continue interacting with the dogs at the Husky Village and learn many interesting things. Here, you'll get to know curious facts about sled dogs, their characteristics, and how too take care of them.

The Husky Village is located within a 40-minute drive from Vilnius. You can arrive by car or book a transfer. The agency fleet includes vehicles of various sizes, so even groups can be accommodated comfortably.

Pet-friendly vacationers are also encouraged to consider other similar activities at Vilnius Relax, such as dog sledding at the Husky Village in winter, horseback riding, or visiting the Alpaca Village in Trakai.

The agency's services cover a wide range of activities to suit every taste: cycling tours, ATV safaris, paragliding, rafting, rallies, and much more. The agency also organizes excursions and can help organize exciting events of any size throughout Lithuania.

You can explore the full range of services and book activities on the website vilnius-relax.lt.
