You can prepare for the Lenten season with a sweet polish tradition. Paczkis are sold throughout the world but are popular locally as well. This week in honor of “Fat Tuesday,” a celebration associated with Mardi Gras, retailers in the area will be offering the sugary treat. This year there will be an array of flavors at Tadych's Marketplace in Sturgeon Bay, including apple, lemon, cherry, raspberry, and prune. Cake decorator, Kris Sawdo, talks about what goes on to prepare for Fat Tuesday.
In past years, Tadych’s has sold over 500 dozen paczkis. Sawdo says paczkis are only available around this time of year.
