Spring Welcoming Carnival

The Hungarian Cultural Association, with the support of the Department of Central Eurasian Studies, hosted a Farsang (Spring Welcoming Carnival) on February 27 at the Monroe County Public Library Southwest Branch Teaching Kitchen, under the leadership of our Hungarian FLTA, Henriett Papp. The event celebrated the Hungarian tradition of saying goodbye to winter and welcoming spring with costumes, crafts, and traditional foods. Attendees enjoyed mask-making, fresh Hungarian donuts (fánk), and a potluck-style gathering in a festive carnival atmosphere. The association also thanked FLTA Henriett Papp for organizing the event and community member Orsi Kun for preparing the popular homemade fánk.
