POLISH AMERICAN DAY AT
GREAT AMERICA

Gurnee, Illinois - The third Annual Polish American Day at Six Flags Great America was held on Saturday, June 6, 2009. Polish National Alliance along with Polish Roman Catholic Union, Polish Women's Alliance and Polish Falcons were co sponsoring the event.

Chairing the events was Anna Sokolowski, Vice President of the PRCUA. Anna along with the Vice Presidents of the PNA (Paul C. Odrobina), PWA (Sharon Zago) and PFA (Robert Gorny) have collaborated on many events throughout the summer. Other events included, Polish American Heritage Night at White Sox Park (Cellular Field), Polish Fraternal Bowling Tournament, Fraternal Junior Bowling Tournament and later in the year Dozin' With the Dino's at the Field Museum. These programs show how the Polish Fraternal Organizations could work together and involve the members for a day or evening of fraternalism.

During the day, the park was open to all to enjoy the rides and attractions. Three Polish Dance Groups performed for the patrons who attended the Park. Dance groups who performed included WICI (PNA Dance Group), Lajkonik (PNA Dance Group) and Wesoly Lud (PRCUA Dance Group).
