September/October 2007 Wrap Up

In addition to its appearances at the Labor Day events in Hamtramck, Wawel also performed at the St. Athanasius Fun Fest in Roseville, Michigan on September 8, 2007 as well as at Troy Daze in Troy, Michigan on September 16, 2007.

On September 22, 2007, Wawel performed at the Polish Falcons' District Convention held at the American Polish Cultural Center in Troy, Michigan. Wawel presented it Rzeszow and Lubelski suites followed by the Karolina Polka. During discussions with some of the Polish Falcons, it was mentioned that Wawel had performed at their district convention 20 years earlier.

On October 13, 2007, Wawel performed at Northville's annual Oktoberfest. While it might seem strange to have a Polish Folk Group perform at what is largely considered a German Festival, it really isn't - In October, the whole of Europe celebrates the harvest. Wawel's appearance at the Oktoberfest is doubly appropriate because of October's celebration of Pollish American heritage month.

At the Oktoberfest performance, Wawel presented its Kaszuby, Lowicz, and Lubelski suites as well as Kadzioleczka and the Karolina Polka.
