HUNGARIAN HARVEST DANCE 2003Our annual Harvest Dance celebration took place on October 4, 2003 at the American Legion Hall on Hwy. 43, near Springfield. A dinner, consisting of stuffed cabbage, kolbasz, cucumber salad, homemade bread and Hungarian pastries, was served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Various events took place throughout the early afternoon. Margaret Resetar and Helen Kropog demonstrated how to make palacsinta. They sold their finished products to the onlookers for a mere 25 cents each and had all the business that they could handle! Many watched in amazement as Helen Nyeki showed the crowd how to make homemade egg noodles. Vicky Mocsary and Suzie Green performed several Hungarian songs, such as Jo Napot Kivanok, Piros Piros Piros, and Az a Szep, a long-time community favorite. Mary Ivanyisky demonstrated her fabulous crocheting techniques through part of the morning and afternoon. George Lezu told amazing, and sometimes amusing stories of his youth (the good old days) to the interested onlookers. Irene Good, with the aide of Helen, her daughter-in-law, and grand-daughters, Megan and Christen, showed onlookers how to make csorege, one of the favorite pastries of Hungarian Settlement. The food booth provided various items, such as cabbage noodles, kolbasz and stuffed cabbage, throughout the rest of the day and well into the evening.
