PNA Piknik
On Sunday July 29, 2012, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at PNA Council 122's annual picnic held at Wanda Park in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
With temps in the mid-80s, this was a welcome relief compared to some of the previous performances this summer. The ensemble presented its Krakowiak, Kujawiak/Oberek, Kurpie and Sieradz suites during the performance.
Following the performance, members of the ensemble lingered to enjoy tasty Polish food and listen to music provided by Test.
Wawel's next performance is August 12, 2012 at Sweetest Heart of Mary Church in Detroit, Michigan's annual Pierogi Festival.

Mid Summer 2012 Update
Hard to believe that we're rolling in to August already. Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are already behind us, and big box retailers are airing "back to school ads."

5 May 2012 - Performance at St. Florian Strawberry Festival in Hamtramck, Michigan.
22 June 2012 - Wawel held its summer bowling fundraiser at Regal Lanes in Warren, Michigan. Proceeds from this event will be used to purchase new costumes for the group.
24 June 2012 - Performance at the Austrian Society of Detroit's picnic in Utica, Michigan.
