This weekend my family and I made our annual visit to Whiting Indiana's Pierogi Fest! What is Pierogi Fest you ask? Why, it's only the most delicious celebration of Polish food, culture, and fun that anyone could possibly ask for! The fest has been pretty widely publicized within the past few years, (It was even on the Food Network!) but my grandparents live in Whiting, so I've been a loyal Pierogi Fest attendant since my stroller days. Thankfully, it was nice and cool outside this year without bad crowds- so this Polack girl got to CHOW DOWN!
Okay y'all, I know this doesn't look too Polish, but Wild Bill's Soda has had a booth at the fest for the past few years, and they make the MOST delicious Root Beer on earth!

POTATO PANCAKES!
My cousin Camille was a Pieroguette, Miss Chicken!
I'm a Sauerkraut lover.
And what would Pierogi Fest be without a little Daddy/Daughter Polka?

Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteI have heard about Wild Bill's Soda too, they sound awesome! I've also heard that you can bring back an old mug to get it refilled? Is that what you do or do you buy a new mug each year? What kind of mugs do they have? & do you have any more pictures of the stand, it looks so cool in those pictures!

Hey Steph! Yep, that's exactly how it works! If you buy a mug (around $10) any year, then each year you come back with your mug you just buy a band that they put on the handle (around $5 or so) and you can get as much soda as you want all day long! The mugs are all silver metal, they look very "Wild Wild West" I'm so glad you liked the post! Thanks for the questions!
DeleteMuch Love,
Melina
