Countdown to Paczki Day 2009, originally uploaded by Carrie Acosta.

This past Saturday I shot the Countdown to Paczki Day in Hamtramck. I was kind of dreading it due to the blizzard that was hitting us at the time, but it turned out to be a really great time. The snow and high winds did come, but the tent stayed up and it was a great success in spite of the weather. It's events like this that make you realize what a special place Hamtramck is.

I posted a large group of photos in a set on my Flickr page if you'd like to check it out:
