Ostatki, a Polish Karnival celebration announced

Ostatki: A Polish Carnival Celebration will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 6:30 PM at The Youngstown Room at The B&O in downtown Youngstown.

Hosted by the energetic PolishYoungstown organization, this Slavic-inspired Pre-Lenten Celebration includes samples of elite vodkas and Polish beers—imported for the event and not normally available in Ohio--complimented with a buffet, music, dancing, premium gift baskets, bead and trivia contest and—of course, a pączki parade and prizes.

BONUS: Our Annual Vodka Cocktail Contest, sponsored by sponsored by Bison Grass Vodka, is open to amateur bartenders too! So if you think you mix a mean drink you can compete head to head with bartenders from some of Youngstown’s hippest establishments--and Polish Happy Hour host locations. All will be competing for prizes before a panel of “celebrity” judges. Each drink will be tested for creativity, flavor and originality. Each of the contestants’ drinks will be available for you to try for yourself afterward!

Costs for the evening are $40 per person (a $5 discount for PolishYoungstown members, non-drinkers or those purchasing before February 15th). For more information call 330-333-9724 or go to www.polishyoungstown.org
