Pierogifest 2006 was HOT, HOT, HOT. Not just because the temperature hovered in the 90-100F range but also because we had two cross dressing male babushkas this year, none other than Mr. VT himself Hansi (waalewiener) and the cutest babushka I've ever seen, Ethan (coair13). Hansi was a hit with all the ladies and some of the men in his red lace dress, pearls, babushka and HOT red lipstick. But I'm wondering if Hansi didn't enjoy wearing that dress just a little too much ;-)
My husband David is always looking for a way to top his previous year's costume, 2004 he was jailbird Martha Stewart complete with a cake with a hacksaw hidden in it, 2005 he was a hilarious Michael Jackson and 2006 was his "biggest" effort yet to tie in with 2006s World's Cup, the world's largest jock strap. Don't believe David when he tells you he just pulled it out of his underwear drawer ;-)
When was the last time you saw a pierogi talking on a cell phone and you weren't under the influence? ;-)
The larger children were a little skeptical of a bearded babushka but the smaller children weren't afraid of Hansi in his Mrs. Doubtfire outfit, here he is taking one for a twirl
One of the final events of the Fest is the pierogi toss, soaked in butter, the messier the better! No fair wiping your hands or the pierogi on your clothes! The was no victory for my family, my brother in law dropped his pierogi and my nephew was disqualified for stepping out of line.
And the final event of the day was the pierogi eating contest, pierogis are only allowed to travel in one direction or the contestant is disqualified. There was a tie and the winners scarfed down 17 pierogis in 3 minutes but one contestant probably could have eaten more had they not been so slow to replenish his stack.
Ugh, just the thought of eating 17 pierogis.....

I'll never be able to read Frost again without the giggles!! LOLOLOLOLOL!
Found it! They're great as always! Thanks for posting them--Easter wouldn't be the same! :)
And you even worked in a Pepsi plug!!!
Well, I have to admit - David does look like a tree wearing a tie around his trunk. hehe! Looks like all had a good time.
Hiya - was intrigued to see yr receommendations to yr Whiting page - after trying Pierogi in Poland and from my Polish flatmate I wouldnt mind going to the Pierogi festival either!
Haha..the Pierogi Fests do look very entertaining! :-) 17 pierogis in 3 minutes??! :-o It took me the best part of half an hour to eat 10 of them...and I was struggling by that point! So, what is the ultimate pierogi filling in your expert opinion? :-)
Brilliant simply brilliant! I love all the "peeps" on the page. David is multi-talented, these are so funny I had to actually laugh out loud!
Hey Kristi very nice new travelogue,haha I like that Yummy Peep Mobile .Probably too sweet for Lori Nahh it's not to eat eh it is to admire Tell David we think it's pretty Cool ok
You have to congratulate David; this years is so well done. It includes so much in such a clever way. I like that it is serious, funny, historic, and brilliantly CREATIVE.
It doesn't look as if it was quite so hot this year as in 2006. I seem to remember the asphalt melting on the street last year!
