Old Home Week 2008 is right around the corner! We had a grand old time gorging on deliciously buttery pierogies last year, so we figured we’d give it another go!

Among our plans for this year:

Even more pierogies (that means we expect you to eat more)
Cold beverages (sorry about the scalding water we made you drink last year)
Better organization (enough chairs to go around for everybody)
Wittier commentary during the event (not a guarantee)
A better Web site (It may still be under construction)
A movie about pierogies
A pierogi presence in the parade

There’s plenty more in store, but we don’t want to spoil the surprises. Keep checking back here for more information. And start practicing your eating.
