Fat Tuesday is not complete without this fried dough Polish treat.
For many area residents Fat Tuesday is not complete without the delectable Polish delicacy known as paczki. Due to the Chicago area's large Polish population, the fried dough creation has become a staple of the pre-Lenten celebration. Filling and icing varieties make the choices almost unending.

For those looking for more traditional paczki the local options are plentiful. Baumann's Bakery in Palos Heights calls Fat Tuesday their busiest day of the year.

On April 15, St. Bernadette Church came together to enjoy their annual fish fry.
The atmosphere inside St. Bernadette Catholic Academy was alive as attendees shared drinks and laughs at this year’s annual fish fry. The fry, which is put on every year by St. Bernadette’s Men’s Club, is far more about relationship building than fundraising. "We like to call this event a 'fun' raiser rather than a fundraiser," said Men’s Club vice president Dan McKeown "because it’s not about the money. It’s about bringing the parishioners and the community together. If we accomplish that were happy." Take a peek inside this week's Viewfinder to check out the action. Viewfinder is our weekly photo gallery that runs every Thursday.
