row_33 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 well into the 1990s Channel 4 would preempt the second round weekend March Madness to show the parade. My only CBS affiliate was out of Buffalo and I had to drive an hour to a friend's where they had the Erie as well. For some reason my cable company gave me the extra NBC and ABC Erie stations...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 My husband loves this day. I have no idea why (my ancestors are Polish, not his). I swear he just likes to say Dyngus Day. Thank goodness we didn't have a kitty willow tree in our backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Its Polands St. Patrick's day, why wouldn't most people love another day that has an excuse to drink...... And it doesn't require you to wear green, a color many people don't wear on a regular basis Edited April 2, 2018 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, why is this not really known outside of WNY?? I have also lived in Chicago, with a larger size Polish population, but they give you an odd look if mention the holiday.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Talk about big brother watching - When I googled Dyngus Day one of the tabs led me to Buffalo NY Dyngus Day who knew? (obviously not me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 New Jersey, NYC, and Philly don't really have any parades for it which is a shame. It's sounds cool coming from someone part Polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's huge in South Bend for the last 80 years... Yes, South Bend, more promoted by the city than in BFLo...

I think I know why. It's because Dyngus Day died out everywhere. But one man brought it back. Eddie Dobosiewicz, aka Maxwell Truth. Some of you know Ed from TV in Buffalo. Maybe you took A Forgotten Buffalo tour hosted by Eddie. I grew up with Eddie in the St. Stanislaus parish on the east side. But unlike me Eddie returned to the old neighborhood to try to revive it. It was Ed who started organising Dyngus Day events and promoting them. In fact he exported the party to Cleveland. So anywhere they have a big Dyngus celebration, Ed is likely promoting it.
