Harvest Fest Dożynki (Victorian House Grounds)
The community is invited to experience an old fashioned Polish harvest fest Dożynki on the ground of the Victorian house. We want to recreate the spirit of the Polish harvest fest on the shores of Orchard Lake. There will be an area set up for those who bring their own picnic baskets, as well as picnic fare for sale. Artisans will demonstrate how to create the traditional wheat weavings and wreaths. It is opportunity to incorporate community members so that a wider audience can share and learn about Polish customs, culture, and contributions to society and community.
