2021 Mayfest Report (2021/05/23)
May 1st of 2021 was an exciting day for many of us!
Although the weather did not cooperate with us at all, the rainy forecast did not deter many enthusiastic Hungarians from attending this year’s Mayfest. We even had quite a number of guests – including visiting dignitaries. Honoring us with their presence were his Excellency Ambassador of Hungary, Takács Szabolcs plus 6 additional diplomats from the Embassy in Washington D.C., Consul General, Széles Tamás from Los Angeles and Viceconsul Gábor Markocsány from Houston
This year's Mayfest was quite different from the ones held in the past years. Because of the COVID-19 virus, we were not allowed to cook the Gulyas at the event or bring potluck food. Instead, we had to hire a restaurant to cater the food. We turned to Brigitta's Hungarian Kitchen in Kilgore TX. They were super nice! They not only cooked delicious meals, brought it in, served it, but they closed their restaurant in Kilgore in order to be at our event! What a service!
All we can do in return, is to help promote their business by sharing their Online Order service!
You can taste their delicious, truly Hungarian meals, prepared from scratch by ordering here.
They deliver to 48 states, free of charge! You will love it!
Just in time for our event, the COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed. Our special gulyas cook friend, Joe Czabajszki, managed to cook one pot of gulyás to the delight of about 50 persons. In addition, our Langos team was also able to continue the tradition of frying and serving fresh Langos!
Judging by the many beautiful pictures posted on Facebook, we think that despite the not so perfect weather, a lot of people had a great time, could enjoy the fruits of almost 30 volunteer’s dedicated work who helped make this event memorable.
Kudos to all – especially the teenagers who, for the first time, worked shoulder to shoulder with the ‘old-timers’.
Great big thanks hanks to all! View our photo album here.
