Taste of Polonia Wet T-Shirt contest!!

It has a nice ring to it:)

George

Ya, you have to be 21, If I remember correctly they do the wristband thing.

The food is great, I think the Polish plate was $10 and you get like 2 globaki, 4 pierogi, kielbasa and some potato pancakes.
I couldnt finish it all!!

Viva Polonia!!!

It was great,,Im going back again tomorrow!

Pics coming soon, after I cure my Hangover,,,lol

Polish people are the nicest!
Yesterday when I arrived there I paid $6.00 to get in and then purchased $40 for food and drink tickets. I had the Polish plate and then went to buy a couple of beers for my friend a I.

Well the bartenders were drinking also, so I started messing around with them. I dont know what I did but they befriended me, and gave us free beer all night!!

They refused to take my tickets,,thats so cool!

These people that run the festival would probably just give you food if you didnt have money
thats how nice they are:)

Everybody there was laughing, dancing, eating and drinking, it was such a good time!

Babcias Grill

Polska Kobiety

A few souvenir stands also

shy girl..lol

more food

busted,,haha

Yeah, Im going back tomorrow for sure, I still have $20 in tickets:)
Ill take some more pics, Im hoping the Sobieski girls and Ms. Polonia are there

And its that good Polish beer Strawski, it tastes kind of like Okocim

Much better and stronger than watery Miller lite, they got me wasted!! lol

The food is awesome too!!

I snapped some pics at the TOP today. Sledzik and me we had a few Stawski piwo.. I had a kebab for the first time in my life. The flavor reminded me of tacos... :)

OMG, it was a lot of people there, considering it was the last day of the fest. Loved it! (as usual)
