We are very proud to announce that Mrs Jadwiga Brzoza, a Kowali resident and an extremely well-deserved activist for the folk culture of Nowiny Municipality, has been honored with the Starosta Kielce Prize – a distinction in the field of culture.
Mrs. Jadwiga is an exceptional character who has been inspiring and building the cultural identity of our municipality for years. For 60 years he has been active in the Kole Gospodyń Rural, and for 40 years with full devotion he has presided over the “Kowalanki” Celebration Team, nurturing and imparting traditions, songs and rites of the Świętokrzyskie region to other generations.
During the ceremony, in addition to congratulations from the organizers, Mrs. Jadwiga also received tributes and gifts from the delegation of the Municipality of Nowiny. It was composed of: the mayor of the commune Nowiny – Łukasz Gryń, the director of the Municipal Culture Centre – Edyta Bobryk and the councillors: the chairman of the commune council – Marcin Wojcieszyński and Sylwester Bentkowski.
It was an extremely touching moment, full of gratitude and respect for a person who is wholeheartedly involved in the development of local culture.
The same day was also held XXV Regional Review of Folklore and Soloists Teamsduring which our commune was very successful in representing three teams: KGW Kowalanki, KGW Szewczanki and People's Team ‘Bolechowiczanie’. We warmly congratulate all artists – we are very proud of you!
