Happy Dyngus Day!


Today is Dyngus Day. For those of you who don't know what Dyngus Day is you need to pay our area a visit. We leave close to South Bend, Indiana and I actually grew up there. Dyngus day is a standing tradition in the community. It falls on the day after Easter and is usually celebrated with most excitement among the Polish that live in the area. South Bend has a very large amount of Polish immigrants and therefore Dyngus is a very big deal. There is tons of sausage, cabbage, boiled eggs, and liquor consumed. All this is done while the politicians come around for a visit. This year is even more striking as we will be getting a visit from former President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea.
