Pierogi Fest Revisited

January 26, 2023

In 2007, Across Indiana visited Whiting, Indiana to celebrate an Eastern European delicacy at Pierogi Fest. Today, producers Aric Hartvig and Leana Kruska go back to an event that has grown exponentially. Amongst the revelers at the Polka Parade, Aric seeks out the tastiest pierogi, and Leana searches for her dance partner from years ago, Mr. Pierogi.
