PENNSYLVANIA, USA — At family-owned bakeries all over northeastern Pennsylvania, Fat Tuesday looks pretty similar: long lines out the door and signs out front with messages like "Paczki Sold Here."
Newswatch 16 stopped by several bakeries in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties for Fat Tuesday, or better known as Paczki Day, a day all about celebrating Polish traditions.
At Minooka Pastry Shop in Moosic, employees will make and sell more than 1,000 dozen doughnuts just for Fat Tuesday.
