Festivals and Bazaars

Bremond Texas celebrated their 25th annual Polski Dzien or Polish Day on Saturday, June 23, 2012 with record breaking crowds. I arrived in town early Friday afternoon and I could immediately feel the excitement and energy as the town was busy getting ready for the big day. There seemed to be a rebirth of the old Polski Dzien, perhaps it was the milestone of 25 years or the hundreds of Polish flags hanging all over town or the newly painted buildings downtown but something was different. There was no mistaking it that this year Bremond, a town that was known as the Polish Capital of Texas, was going to throw a Polish party like no other.
