Despite the warnings from the National Weather Service and some cases of the sniffles, we welcomed children to our annual program dedicated to entertaining youngsters. The ages varied from 2 and a half through 11. They worked on Hungarian folk design themed crafts, they became familiar with Hungarian playing cards. They spent time decorating traditional Hungarian honey-cookies (mézeskalács). They challenged their memory through a table game and had fun laughing at a puppet show. And let’s not forget folk dancing in the Galleria Atrium! But above all, they had the opportunity to visit with St. Nicholas, Mikulás Bácsi, who chatted with them and gave them a bag of treats. Then the children joined their parents and grandparents for delicious refreshments and a chance to eat those mézeskalács cookies they had decorated! Thanks to the parents and grandparents who brought these youngsters Downtown to spend time nurturing their Hungarian identity.
