If you’re into normal, better stay out of Whiting this weekend. Inspired by a popular Slavic dumpling, Pierogi Fest for more than two decades has been anything but normal.
Union Township residents say the road extension in Porter County, with a design speed of 55 mph, per the project’s website, will disrupt their rural quality of life with the potential for high-speed traffic, ruin multi-generational farms.
WHITING â Hereâs one way to recover from a pandemic.
You cover your head in curlers and dress like your ethnic grandmother. You can also come as a witch, Santa Claus, or Mr. Clean, or ride an inflatable dinosaur.
Those were among some of the characters in Fridayâs Pierogi Fest Parade. Delayed one year due to the coronavirus, the parade returned with a cast of characters that included a bank president/CEO.
âItâs great,â said Centier Bankâs President/CEO Michael Schrage. âWeâve been in a number of parades, and the crowds have really responded. This is where I grew up and played Little League.â
