With Family Fare being done, I had my first free Sunday since June so I drove downtown and walked around.

While there I ran into Festival Polski 2004 in Calder Plaza. Best I can tell its a festival for Polish folks to get together and enjoy traditionally Polish things and raise cash to give to Polish people for college

All of the music was Polka music

When I got there, this group was doing what I'm guessing is supposed to be a traditional Polish dance of sorts.

Then the regularly-dressed people took their turn on the dance floor

Some of the kids were out there on the plywood dance floor too, but think these kids playing on the scupture seemed to be having the most fun

There were a number of booths out there as well--mostly Polish foods as you'd expect, but also a palm reader who'd charge people 5 bucks to listen to five minutes of generalizations that anyone could apply to his or her life like "you seem to foolishly spend your money"

And the last three photos are just interesting things I saw on the way back to the parking structure

Oh yeah, also went out to Noshville to play a game of Scrabble with Zach and Kristin
