One of the favorite meeting places for Texans of Polish descent is the St. Stanislaus annual homecoming bazaar held in Anderson, Texas each fall. It was with some sadness that us old time bazaar attendees watched the removal of the old tin roofed, open sided pavilions shortly after last years bazaar. In their place will be a spacious new hall, a large open pavilion and a new building for the barbecue pits. Construction started in February and looks to be on schedule for completion in time for this years bazaar on October 10th. It should be an exciting time as St. Stanislaus parishioners celebrate and show off the new building complex.
Below are a few photos of the construction and there is a slideshow of many more photos on page 2. The slide show will be updated each week to show the continued progress.
