Tour makes stop at the Corpus Christi Church Athletic Center on Sears Street (Historic Polonia District)
Almost a foot of new snow could not stop over 80 people from reviving the decades old tradition of polka Christmas caroling. On December 19, 2008, Forgotten Buffalo Tours partnered with 2008 Grammy Award Nominated Polka Band Jerry Darlak and the Touch for an evening of "polka caroling" at taverns in Cheektowaga and the Historic Polonia District near the Broadway Public Market.
"This was an unique opportunity to recreate and experience a classic Polish tavern tradition," said Forgotten Buffalo’s Eddy Dobosiewicz. "Polka musicians, caroling acoustically from tavern to tavern was an Eastside tradition of decades."
The evening started with a "Wigilia" style dinner at the Polish Villa 2 and stopped at Wiechec's Lounge, Corpus Christi Church, 222 Gibson, The Market Bar, R Bar & Grill, and The Anchor Inn.
Proceeds of this special Forgotten Buffalo Tour benefited the work of Sister Johnice and the St. Adalbert's Response to Love Center located at 130 Kosciuszko Street in Buffalo. Response to Love operates one of the area’s largest food pantries and is staffed by volunteers and supervised by Felician sisters.
