Page 4, William Penn Life, September 1989 Home for elderly hosts successful Festival Continued from Page 1 were blindfolded, handed a stick and given several chances to strike the moving pinata. After numerous attempts, the piriata was broken and the children made a happy mad dash to the spot where the candy fell. The pinata was just one of many special attractions offered at the Festival. Throughout the day, children and adults enjoyed playing the numerous games of chance and listening to the music of live bands. While some guests took a guided tour of the Home’s historic mansion, others went for a refreshing swim in the pool. But as at many such festivals, the most popular activity appeared to be eating. The menu included chicken, hot sausage, hot dogs, a variety of homemade Hungarian foods, ice cream, cakes, cookies and fresh pastries. It was hard to imagine anyone leaving the Festival hungry. Late in the afternoon, guests were treated to performances by the William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers of McKeesport, Pa., and by the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania. Each group received loud and appreciative applause for their fine exhibition of Hungarian folk dancing. The Festival closed with the drawing of winners for door prizes, the Basket of Cheer raffle and the Memorial Honor Roll Plaque raffle. Katlyn Noel Tissue of New Kensington, Pa. won the Memorial drawing and will have her name engraved on the plaque hanging in the Home. The winner of the large basket of cheer was Branch 8021 Mount Oliver, Pa. The winners of the smaller baskets of cheer were Paul Király of McKeesport, Pa., Albina Drazis of Weirton, W.Va., and Marsha Mahoney of St. Marys, Pa. The success of this year’s Festival was due in large part to the extraordinary efforts of those who planned, organized and worked at the Festival. Special thanks go to Paul Kovács, Louis Fodor, and the entire Festival Committee, as well as all the cooks, servers, game operators, dancers, musicians and other volunteers. We also thank all our members and friends who attended this year’s Festival. We hope to see you again next year.
