Don’t forget to visit the Polish marketplace! If you’re in a bidding mood there is also the silent auction. For those that wish to try their luck\, tickets for the raffle will be available. You can commemorate your visit with a picture with a “Polish Princess” at the photo booth. \nDance the Polka or while you eat\, enjoy the music of Chet Chwalik Polmuz Polka Band and Accordian music from Nicolai Prisacar.
