Polish Heritage Month


October is celebrated nationally as Polish Heritage Month and .the Arts Council
for Wyoming County located at 31 South Main Street, Perry, N.Y will be honoring
Polish heritage and tradition throughout the month.

Professor Gary Krolikowski of MCC's Psychology department has contributed
artifacts and photographs that will be included in this month-long exhibit. His
maternal grandparents immigrated in the 1910s to Western New York and
purchased farmland bordering what is now Letchworth State Park and established
the Wojtowicz family farm. The submitted photographs depict Professor
Krolikowski's immediate family in the 1920s through the 1960s.

Throughout the month of October, a film series entitled "Dom Polski Hollywood"
will show films (free of charge) that star actors and actresses of Polish
descent. (Dom Polski is the name of Perry's local social club.) Nationally
known Polish musicians will also perform and classes will be offered in
"Psanki" or the ancient Polish craft of egg decorating. For more information,
please feel free to contact Gary Krolikowski at gkrolikowski@monroecc.edu
