The Pierogi Festival is over. It took place on May 25 in Dąbrowa Bolesławiecka (Bolesławiec Municipality). The event was organized by the Dąbrowa Bolesławiecka Village Organizing Committee and the Municipal Culture and Sports Centre in Bolesławiec, based in Kruszyn.
There was also a competition for the tastiest pierogi, in which rural housewives’ associations from across our county took part. This year, the pierogi were judged by two committees: one selected by the organizers (comprising Zdzisława and Ryszard Miziniakowie as well as Franciszek Popek), and another selected by the audience.
The main competition was won by the ladies from Kraśnik Dolny, while KGW from Kruszyn came second. The hosts from Lipiany took third place. The audience award went to the ladies from Kruszyn.
The prizes were presented by village head Andrzej Dutkowski, Chair of the Municipal Council Bogusław Uziej, treasurer Franciszek Popek and Chair of the County Council of Rural Housewives’ Associations Olga Burdyna.
The performers included students from the primary school in Dąbrowa; breakdance dancers (Bartek Pytliński, Adrian Pytliński, Szymon Sołowiej, Kacper Ostaszewski and Michał Jurasik; students of Paweł Klimek), Elisa and Denise Laudani, dancers from Elżbieta Eisenblaetter’s “Tierra Flamenca” Dance School Elżbieta Eisenblaetter, the “Jutrzenka” Municipal Song and Dance Ensemble, as well as Agnieszka Miszkiewicz, Katarzyna Tobiasz, Wojciech Tobiasz and Cezary Byrski.
