Polish Town has a new Queen

Polish Town has its new queen.

 Marta Czaplak, of Riverhead, was crowned 2012 Polish Town Queen last night at a coronation ceremony in Polonaise Park. Czaplak is a 2012 graduate of Riverhead High School, where she was an honor student, a starter on the L.I. Championship Blue Waves basketball team and a member of the track team. She will be attending Suffolk County Community College in September.
 Nicole Mielnicki of Aquebogue was first runner up and crowned Polish Town princess. She is a 2011 graduate of Riverhead High School, where she was an honor student and the recipient of the scholar-athlete award for varsity cheerleading. Czaplak succeeds Danielle Doscinski as Miss Polish Town USA.
The contest is sponsored each year by the Polish Town Civic Association. The winners, who are picked by a panel of judges, receive gifts and prizes from local merchants and cash prizes from the Polish Town Civic Association. Queen Marta and her court will lead the parade and ceremonies at the 38th Annual Polish Town Fair and Festival on Aug. 18 and 19. As reported by www.riverheadlocal.com

POLISH FAIR HISTORY according to the Polish Town Civic Association. www.polishtowncivicassociation.com
 After The Association Was Formed, Our First Order Of Business Was Deciding On How To Raise Funds. Discussion Settled On Hosting An Authentic Street Fair Reminiscent Of The Ones Held In Poland. The Idea Was Quickly Embraced And Our First Polish Town Street Fair Was Held August 16th And 17th 1975. Approximately 20,000 People Ventured Out That Inaugural Rainy Weekend To Eat Authentic Polish Food And Dance In The Streets To Polka Music, All While Browsing The Different Street Vendors. The Fair Quickly Grew From 50 Vendors To Some 250 Today And The Fair Has Been An Annual Event (Rain Of Shine) The Third Weekend In August Every Year Since. We Are Considered One Of The Countries Most Successful Fairs Due In Part To The Hundreds Of Volunteers Who Give Their Time To Make This Event Run Flawlessly Which Keeps The Crowds Returning Year After Year. The Town Takes Pride In Its Polish Heritage And Starts Each Fair With A Reenactment Of A Traditional Polish Wedding At St. Isidore's Church.
The Riverhead Polish Town Fair has always been a part of our families traditions.  The sites, sounds and wonderful foods are enjoyable to our family. We look forward to taking it all in every August!
