True, this is the last Carnival Day!!!
Any joke or fancy dress in program?
Happy Paczki day then!
Wow, I am Polish, I know what does "paczki" mean, but have no idea why they call it Paczki Day... And in Poland Fat(Shrove?) Tuesday is on Thursday ;)
Paczkis are the Jelly Doughnuts that they serve here on Fat Tuesday. That's Detroit for you. They name it after the high point of the day. No parades, carnivals..just jelly doughnuts.Quote:

Today is "śledzik" day. Time to drink vodka and eat "śledzika" :D (snack from herring fish) and to have last dance (in Carnival)....
Best regards,
