Hamtramck gears up for Paczki Day 2009.
Excerpt:
On Saturday, Feb. 21 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. the City of Hamtramck will
host the annual family-friendly Paczki Day celebration, Countdown to
Paczki Day. This year's events will include a Paczki bake-off
competition, free Paczki, polka music from Misty Blues, traditional
Polish dancers, the First Annual Paczki Toss, and the first annual
"Paczki Express" Bakery Bus Tour and much more. Admission is free.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, the city buzzes with heady good times and gluttony
galore. Hamtramck favorites, the Polish Muslims, the Keilbasa Kings,
Polka Floyd and others will make the rounds at various Hamtramck venues
(see schedule
here).
Also, various Hamtramck bars and bakeries will commemorate the holiday
with day-long bar crawls, giveaways, traditional Polish drinks and food,
plus spirited abandon. They don't call this February fun ''the Polish
St. Patrick's Day'' for nothing, folks.
