Although the pandemic was putting a hurting on local events and businesses, some people were able to thrive, as a new company called, "Perogie To You," was started up in January 2021. I thought the spelling was off at first too, but I was actually wrong, as Perogie is the Ukrainian spelling and Pierogi is the Polish. Ya learn something new every day. You can purchase tickets in advance online as low as $5 for adults AND $3 for kids, but tickets purchased at the event will have a $2 increase.
