Children at a Traditional Polish Festival
Oct 5th, 2007 by lorenozanne
During September, Loren’s parents and Aunt came to visit for vacation. We enjoyed showing them our city and being tourists as we visited Berlin and four cities in Poland– Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Krakow and Łódż, where we will be living and working. [Pronounced Wooj]
There was a huge Polish festival in Łódż for the 100th anniversary of a dairy in Łowicz, a city about 50 miles from Lodz. [See the banner on the stage behind the children.] There were all kinds of ornate hand-made work, and children sang folk music and performed dances in traditional costumes from the region. It is the Polish equivalent of Mayfield Dairy, in East Tennessee, but even larger. It was a fantastic cultural experience for us.
