I went to the opening night of Dożynki today with camera in hand to take a bunch of pictures.

When I arrived, I was surprised to see my Aunt Gert and my cousin Sue there.  I did take a few photos but spent most of the evening chatting with my family.

My aunt was married at Corpus Christi almost 60 years ago.   We talked about the church and our family.  All of it reminding me why I do what I do in the neighborhood by helping places like Corpus Christi.  These places are important and historic.  They tell the story of the Polish community who built Broadway-Fillmore.  This part of Buffalo was shaped by the lives and experiences of these people…my ancestors.  They are part of the fabric which made Buffalo the city it is.  It is why it is important to preserve the B-F treasures that remain.  It is this past that can help the neighborhood’s future.

Dożynki continues today and tomorrow.
