In even years, Americans visit Poland and in odd years the U.S. serves as the host country. Recently some 28 Polish youth and adults made Indiana their home for two weeks, staying with host families in fifteen Hoosier counties, including sixteen year old Julia Miernik who was a guest of the Dennis and Laura Kratz family of rural LaGrange. The contingent visiting the northern Indiana counties represented the Swietokrzyski region of Poland. During their recent visit to the LaGrange area, a group of some 67 Polish guests and hosts stopped at the Rise ‘n Roll bakery, the Guggisberg Deutsch Kase Haus cheese making facility, and E & S Wood Creations before gathering for a family style meal at The Carriage House near Topeka. Other cultural and educational sites on the agenda included Purdue University, Indianapolis, including the state capitol, 500 Motor Speedway, Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Indiana State Fair, a semi-pro baseball game, and various county fairs. The group wrapped up its American excursion with a tour of Chicago before returning to Poland on August 6. Photo Submitted September ‘13 · The Hometown Treasure · pg 59
