Page 4 THE EIGHTH HUNGARIAN TRIBE November, 1982 Trenton Heritage Days Festival The City of Trenton, New Jersey and the Trenton Commons Commission sponsored its Fourth Annual Heritage Days Festival on Saturday, June 4th, and on Sunday, June 5th. The Festival was held on the Trenton Commons and in Historical Mill Hill Park in the Downtown section of Trenton. Since Trenton is a multi-ethnic community there were over fifty different nationalities selling food and pastries. The Hungarian Community was located in the Mill Hill Park area as has been their custom for the past four years. The Hungarian Tent is always the most beautifully displayed and decorated. This year there were five societies that participated: the Torántffy Zsuzsánna Society and the Youth Fellowship of the Hungarian Reformed Church, the American-Hungarian Democratic Citizens Club, the American-Hungarian Civic Association and the local Branch of the Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation. During this year’s Festival we had a new unwelcome addition “Rain”. It rained throughout the two day Festival and in turn produced a rather smaller crowd than the 200,000 anticipated with good weather. But due to the weather and moisture the crowd might have been small, but the Hungarian spirit was alive and well. The Hungarians showed their expertise in cooking and baking. Hungarian Dishes such as Stuffed Cabbage, Breaded Chicken, Kolbász, Pork Sandwiches, Gulyás, Cabbage and Noodles, and various pastries: Poppy Seed and Walnut Kalács, Kiflis, Fánk and Pogácsa. We did a good job portraying the foods of the Hungarian community. Mrs. Mary Paller Lewis works diligently preparing one of the many Töltött Káposzta that was sold at the Festival. The food was prepared at the St. Stephen’s Church Parish Center. Mrs. Anna Majoros Pintye begins the prepartion of the Kirántott Csirke. Two of our Hungarian girls: Victoria Angyal and Krisztina Andrassy ardently await customers at the Hungarian Tent in Mill Hill Park. The Ladies of the Lorántffy Zsuzsánna Society of the Hungarian Reformed Church begin to serve their delicious Hungarian food and pastries.
