BAZAAR FOR THE THOUSANDS Holy Trinity Byzantine Church is well known for it’s outstanding Hungarian style kitchen. Their events are always successful. So it was not to our surprise that we had to stand in line at the door of the social hall. It took some time to get in, but it was worth it. We all agreed, especially after the first taste of the delicious food. The bazaar also had games, chances, crafts and a Hungarian booth. Thousands visited the three-day affair. Over a hundred people worked at this bazaar. Many of them were young people, and the preteens were very visible, too. They cleaned the tables off as soon as one finished their food. We congratulate the congregation and their pastor Father Rakaczki. These pictures tell part of the story. BIG TOP AT THE BIG E Though it isn’t a tradition to go to the BIG E, the agricultural fair in Springfield, Mass., I somehow prefer doing it. Usually I come away with my family, saying once you see it you saw it all. Then, the next year we go again. Each of us have a different reason. My wife likes the vast confusion, the people, and all the programs. My son goes to please his mother, hoping to be awarded with some purchase at the sports exhibit. I, on the other hand, have my own interest. This is beyond having my family with me. I go for the moo of the eows, the squeaking of the pigs, and the chip-chip of the chickens. Then there are the horses, dogs, goats and sheep. I like the sounds that were imprinted in my memory during my boyhood. Just because the smell is not like our air-conditioned home, and it is not advisable to walk around barefooted, I still get a charge out of my visit. If you haven’t gone yet, you should. Try it sometime. This year we made it to the circus under the big top. Even though we were in line 40 minutes before show time, we just about made it due to the large crowd and were seated in three of the last seats. We saw a class A performance. What really stayed with us was a young man who rode into the ring on the head of an elephant Later he came back several times, not on elephants, but this time on horses. As a comedian, an acrobat, and a clown, he was the heart of the show. The ringmaster announced him many times, we heard him say Paroli. The name did not mean anything to us, but we noticed that the performer had a European accent. Then we looked it up in the program book and to our surprise we learned that the name is not Paroli but Károlyi. It was a pleasure to find out that this outstanding showman is a Hungarian. What else would you expect? MANY THANKS for the generous donations given by Father Idranyi, Helen Fazekas, Olga Sosnowski, Janet Gault and Hazel G. Brown.
