Wanda Park Veterans' Piknik
On Sunday, August 1, 2010, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at a fundraiser for the Polish Veterans at Wanda Park in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Wawel presented its Rzeszow and Sieradz suites and finished off the performance with the Karolina Polka. At the conclusion of the performance members of the ensemble and the audience alike joined in singing sto lat, to Donna Skurski, Wawel's Choreographer, in recognition of her birthday. After the performance members of the ensemble stayed at Wanda park enjoying live music, Polish food, and watching the White Eagles, S. C. match.
It was particularly fitting that an event in support of the Polish Veterans be held on August 1 as that marked the 66th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.
