Over the Memorial Day weekend I had a few picnics to go to.

LOL!

Being part Polish, I immediately thought up a Polish riddle:
Q: What's a Polish string band?
A: Forty horns and a banjo!

:D

That kid in the 2nd-to-last shot doesn't seem to be digging it, but I"ll bet they sounded great. ;D

I saw polish and immediately thought sausage.  I think I have a eating disorder.

Good shots

Looks like someone trew a couple of Polish guys and some native americans in a blender and pushed the button...  ;D

Very colourful!  :)

Very colourful indeed. Looks like fun. :D

Mummers are familiar in this part of the world too. Mummers Plays are still performed at Christmas time, not that I've ever seen one. http://www2.prestel.co.uk/aspen/sussex/mumming.html

Yeah, the idea is to make the cotumes as extravagant as possible.

The music is great!!  This was only part of the band.

I thought it's origins came from the old country.
