Polish Christmas Party In Chappell Hill

Celebrations, Current Events / By James Smock / December 17, 2009

There was a Polish flag flying outside of the Lazy Mule Saloon in Chappell Hill Texas on Saturday night, December 12, 2009. Inside the bar, a large group of Chappell Hill and Brenham natives and their friends celebrated with a Polish Christmas party. Daniel Cendalski brought his fiddle and he and his band, Daniel and the Country Boys played a mix of old time Polish and country dance music.

There was plenty of good food to eat including home made bigos, kiszka, kielbasa, kapusta and golabki provided by Henry Mazurkiewicz and his family. A good time was had by all as the lively crowd spent the evening eating, drinking beer, dancing, talking and laughing.
