Egg prices not plunging spirts for Paczki tradition
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — Fat Tuesday is next week, and you may have to spend more on some traditional treats to celebrate.
Marta Mazur has been behind the counter at Krakus Polish Deli and Bakery since 2012, and this time of year things tend to get a little busy.
'It's fun to also educate people about a little bit of my culture,' Mazur said. 'So I enjoy it tremendously.'
Fat Tuesday is still a few days away, but in Poland, the Paczki tradition gets a little premature head start.
'In Poland, they celebrate it on Thursday, which is called Fat Thursday in Poland,' Mazur said. 'And then on Tuesday, when we celebrate the Fat Tuesday, that's when they finish off their drinking.'
The prized Paczki is full of rich ingredients like butter and eggs, so the bill might be a little steeper this year thanks to soaring prices on a key ingredient kneaded to make it all come together.
'For us right now, it's trying to find the stuff, so finding eggs was such a challenge like a week ago, so I couldn't even start earlier than this,' Mazur said.
So Marta and her staff have their work cut out for them. They've already raised prices by a quarter — $2.25 to 2.50 per Paczki — and are focusing on taking orders ahead of time so they're prepped with Paczki once Fat Tuesday arrives.
'I don't have as much for walk-ins. So walk-ins are probably going to sell out pretty quickly, especially on a Tuesday,' Mazur said.
Thursday morning they had pumped out eight batches, each containing nine dozen Paczki, to fill various orders that had already been placed.
'I have my regulars who are absent minded and they're like, 'Oh yeah, you were supposed to set me some aside. Well you didn't call but I knew that at the last minute they were going to call, so I usually have a little bit of a backup for all of those regulars,' Mazur said.
It's a labor of love that just takes a little pre-planning, no matter what day you're celebrating.
'We're still celebrating, there's no way of getting away from it,' Mazur said.

JobsNOW: 24-hour daycare looking for dedicated workers
CAMPBELL, Ohio (WKBN) – Childcare is important. The state has rules on how many workers must be watching with various numbers of children present, and a local provider is hiring. Children grow fast. La La's Daycare Learning Center in Campbell is growing just as fast as the little learners. It was started to provide a different option. 'We are a 24-hour childcare center, and that's something that sets us apart from a lot of childcare centers in the area,' said Latisha Weaver, owner of La La's Daycare. La La's Daycare had its grand opening on Easter. It needs more childcare workers with a quickly growing roster.'It seems like we have majority of preschool-age kids. So, anyone interested in working with the younger kids, we definitely could use help with the younger kids,' Weaver said. Employees must pass a background check. They also get training in multiple areas of safety, health, and recognizing abuse related to children. La La's wants workers who are excited about taking care of children, and also teaching them.'That's a big thing that La La's Daycare Learning Center is about, is actually teaching the kids to their ability — what their ability is,' Weaver said. Weaver prefers a worker with experience. She can provide a shift to meet your need, too, whether it's days, evenings, or overnights. The children have big personalities. Weaver feels they're fun to be around and wants a worker who can match that personality with compassion. 'You definitely have to have patience with kids. You definitely have to get to know their strengths and weaknesses, because all kids are different,' she said. And they all get treated the same at La La's. Weaver is ready to talk with people who are interested in working with her and the children. She is also hiring home health aides for the other side of her business, which is La La Love Healthcare. To apply, call and make an appointment at 330-937-2248. The daycare is located at 178 12th Street, Campbell. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
