["Every July, the Mens Club of the Steubenville, Ohio Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Church hosts an annual picnic at their picnic grounds along Kings Creek in Weirton, West Virginia. The event serves as both a fundraiser for the Mens Club and a homecoming for Weirton and Steubenvilles Serbian Community. The event features Serbian music, dance, food, and drink. Mens Club members roast chickens and lambs on spits over open wood fires and sell them to picnic attendees. The spits were constructed out of material from Weirton Steel by Mens Club members and Weirton Steel employees in the 1960s. Other food served at the picnic includes pogacha (a type of Serbian bread), haluski or cabbage and noodles, cevaps (a pork, lamb, and beef sausage), strudel, nut rolls, beer, and Slivovitz.In 2017, state folklorist Emily Hilliard attended the Serbian picnic with Brynn Kusic, whose fathers family is part of the Weirton Serbian community.

["Every summer Wednesday since 1969, members of the Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church Mens Club have hosted a Chicken Blast at the Serbian Picnic Grounds along Kings Creek outside of Weirton, West Virginia. They roast 300-400 chickens per week as a fundraiser for the maintenance of the picnic grounds. The spits, an industrial brick oven, and walk-in coolers were constructed in the 1960s out of material from Weirton Steel by Mens Club members, most of whom were Weirton Steel employees. Each week, the choir also sells pogacha (a type of Serbian bread), haluski or cabbage and noodles, corn on the cob, strudel and other desserts. The bar at the picnic grounds is also open, serving beer and Slivovitz.See the short video and audio documentary about the Chicken Blasts, produced by the West Virginia Folklife Program and West Virginia Public Broadcasting: https://wvfolklife.org/2020/01/27/weirtons-serbian-heritage-is-a-chicken-blast/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpGF-MFUlhYhttps://soundcloud.com/wvpublicnews/weirtons-serbian-heritage-is-a-chicken-blast"]
