Glasses clinked and tin foil crinkled as the Hungarians prepared for a true party at the charity function for a nearby church. A lovely ballroom, complete with floor to ceiling velvet curtains, exquisite detailed moldings, box seating, and crystal chandeliers set the stage for a stylish evening full of lively entertainment.
A duo singing a mix Hungarian love songs and crooning Sinatra began the evening, as the audience trickled in with arms laden full of homemade goodies for the potluck special. Wine and palinka began to flow as local children performed dances, songs, and dramatic readings, delighting the audience with their vivacity. After a few speeches by the priest and local bishop, the dynamic duo returned, singing songs that invited couples to swirl around the dance floor. Men and women of all ages flocked to the floor, creating a diverse group of dancers and dancing styles – from ballroomers to hand jivers.
The night concluded with a fabulous performance by local actors who sang show tunes in both Hungarian and English. It was a delightfully entertaining evening filled with laughter and good company.
