This year Maspeth Feast was held under the slogan “Summer with Harleys”. For years, the foundation has organized this fun event for children on their holiday. Last Saturday at Holy Cross R.C Church, many people attended from the Polonia of Maspeth, from Ridgewood and even from Long Island.

A great summer afternoon gave everyone an opportunity to celebrate. There was cotton candy, lollipops, prized competitions, bouncy castle, beauty salon, tattoos, face painting, balloons and much, much more. This sunny afternoon would not be the same without the performance of a very talented band GAUDETE directed by Ewa Gindorowicz. The audience was greeted with thunderous applause by the wonderful performance of children with a song dedicated for special guests of Harleys, “My Harley".

Representatives of Harley clubs all over NY arrived on bikes. You could take pictures on Harley and motorcyclists even gave gifts to children. For adults, there were grilled dishes prepared by the Foundation's Board of Directors.
