| On 23-rd of August, in Yorkville, we celebrated the end of harvest and the end of summer. Our Polanie and Wislanie danced in a fall scenery with crops in the background. Right after field mass, where we thanked for our harvest, for our bread, and for our families – our dance group thanked in their own way – by dancing. It was a beautiful day in a charming neighborhood and our dancers though not harvesting along with farmers in the fields – certainly thanked the God dancing with their hands and feet. |  |
