Grab A Pierogi And A Babushka In Whiting This Weekend

2008_07_pierogifest.gifIf we didn't have to work today, we'd be at Pierogi Fest in Whiting, IN right now. All weekend long, 119th Street in downtown Whiting becomes a thoroughfare of music, carnival rides, parades and pierogis. This year's festival promises to bring more of the same babushkas, polkas, parades, lawn mower drill teams, showcasing of dogs and all-around family fun. For those of us having a staycation this summer, this could also fit in the "one-tank trip" rule.
