Cracow Creche
The fifth annual Cracow Creche exhibition and reception will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday in the William Pitt Student Union, Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, University of Pittsburgh Oakland campus.
The creches are a folk art specific to the city of Cracow, Poland, where they are called szopka. They originated in the Middle Ages as elaborate puppet stages for Christmas season morality plays. The creches were made by students in a six-week workshop taught yearly by Pittsburgh folk artist and former art administrator David Motak, who traveled to Poland to learn the craft from szopka masters.
The Pittsburgh project is the only one of its kind outside of Poland. The event, sponsored in part by the University of Pittsburgh Polish Nationality Room Committee, is free and open to the public. Traditional Polish holiday music and ethnic pastries will also be featured. For information, visit website .

Time: 2:00 pm -
Hash House Harriers run
Where: Carngie Area
Hare: Dick-A-Day
it basically starts from the same place my Hot Flash Hash started last year.
Let's say, take exit 57 off of Rt. 79, towards Carnegie.
Then Noblestown Rd. towards Oakdale.
When you get to Walker's Mill Road, park -- there are some lots that may or
may not be legal on both sides of Walker's Mill Road.
(Or if you want to be SURE you're legal, go down Walker's Mill and
park at the Panhandle Trail parking lot, it's only about another tenth of a mile.)
