Throw on your babushka and start polkaing over at the Whiting Indiana Pierogi Festival. We like polka and pierogies as much as the next Polish Chicago girl (we like strappy high-heeled sandals and hair dye too), but this festival is just not something we’d lower ourselves to. Plus it’s in Indiana.
Haven’t had enough European-immigrant stereotyping? Stop on over to Capputto’s in Addison to see The Zoppe Family Circus, including Nino, the “clown prince of Italy.” They’ll be in Addison all weekend. Geektastic doesn’t really “get” clowns, so maybe this will be more exciting than it seems to us.
