Summer is full of festivals, and Sunday was time for a favorite among many folks, Saint Hedwig's annual Polish Fest.

From polka music and dancing, to traditional polish food, there was something for everybody at St. Hedwig's Polish Fest.

The annual festival is primarily a fundraiser for the parish, but it is also a time for families and friends to unwind and enjoy each other's company and conversation.

“Wonderful, it's a lot of fun. People enjoy themselves, which is good to see. And it’s inter-generational, with very young people and very old people and everybody in between,” said Fr. Leonard Chrobat, with St. Hedwig’s parish.

Before the festival started Sunday afternoon there was a polka mass at St. Hedwig's.

Fondly remembering St. Hedwig from my kindergarten days in 1947 to many weddings, Masses and festivals. Good memories and good times and feelings. Sadly all the ethnic cultures die out as the young are assimilated into the melting pot. But memories last forever! God bless!

I can smell the great food, and atmosphere at St. Hedwig's. The best feast food ever is Polish food.....bar none.
